SkWalker is a blogger who has been ‘getting it in the neck’ recently over their stance on the effects of the Francis Report; how it’s been reported in the ‘controlled media’; and the ‘railroading’ of a Hospital Trust into administration. Once again, I admit to have missed this piece of theatre and must chase up the footage of the ‘handwringing’. Cameron and Hunt Hmmm a right pair of a*******s doing a panto act. Worth a look.
However, there is a more serious point to be made here. This blogger has spoken of targets being met at a troubled but improving facility which have gone unreported in the MSM. The General Sheeplic have been treated to stories of ‘400 deaths’ that didn’t apparently happen. I smell a rat.

ITV Full Sweat NHS Mid Staffs Media storm. Hunt’s picture is a classic; does he write his own name yet; all he needs is a schoolcap and he’s ready for that big adventure – http://www.itv.com/news/story/2013-02-05/mid-staffordshire-hospital-trust-inquiry/
Finally Dr Cleary says – ‘Last year a leading Economics Professor began a keynote speech to a selected audience in London by saying “The non-medical side of the NHS is run on a culture of complacency and concealment with a well-developed propaganda machine creating noteable false impressions. The only route to saving it is through strong local authority management on the lines through which it originated” The Francis Report seems a well-considered wish list. It is offered as an academic substitute in place of a simpler plan of action which would enable services to be delivered and managed locally with a single doctor responsible for the health of a populated area as well as a few individual patients of his own.Standards would have to be set and monitored indpendently (why not get the Danes to do that?) and independently set .’ http://www.govtoday.co.uk/health/46-staff-management/14752-francis-report-investigating-high-mortality-rates
