The NHS is the most transparent public service we have. It also has the most number of whistle blowers, things going wrong and things going right, judging by scale and public expectation.

I'm surprised too. Surprised that you look at one less than ideal aspect of The NHS and compare it to another. Or bluntly, an example (in my case) of duty of candour being used and other examples of where it went wrong. Out of interest, I am not an NHS professional, and most of my dipping in has been to try and eradicate exactly the type of thing you refer to. If I ran my companies in the way the NHS is run in some quarters we would have gone bust years ago. Tell you what though, when I chaired a trust I was rightly proud of our 6,000 staff and the million patients a year we treated didn't mind having the best healthcare system there is either. And yes, the chief executive I appointed was tasked to remove or retrain all aspects of bullying and coercion. Did we manage it? Dunno. But at least we were happy that we were a different NHS to the Daily M*il NHS. Mrs Musket saves lives for a living, as a consultant surgeon specialising in types of cancer. That's The NHS and as an outsider privileged to help improve it, I am rather proud of the jewel in The UK crown. Just as millions of others are. My recent caretaker role gave me a sense of pride for that matter. Proud of even those who moan. I moan too. I moan about it being physically impossible to carry out the will of government and the expectation of the people at the same time.

We have at least 32 axe or other sharp implement murderers. 293 working as prostitutes on the side, 1,673 people committing fraud, 184 paedophiles, 38,093 users of heroin. Etc. (Average take of that sample size.)

Or in other words, 1.3 million people providing over a million patient decisions every 36 hours. I can find examples of good and bad.

Tell you what though... The ones caught starving babies and murdering them, Beverley Allett being the most well known example. Do you know where they are? Prison.

Right. Back to throwing baby bodies into cesspits and not acknowledging accountability.
