Jeremy Hunt (former HS) posted this............ and gave the answer too.
"How could this have gone on for so long undetected across the tenure of every health secretary in modern history?
The earliest case was in 1973 & the latest in 2020.
Pretty damningly, the many layers of NHS management & regulation gave ‘false reassurances’.
Those managers and regulators are only there to provide the cover stories when problems are found, it`s their daily job.
Not to manage effectively, but to find reasons why things are not done properly.
Whilst the purpose of the NHS, free healthcare for all when needed, is admired across the world, the management structure in every single Trust needs independent review.
Look at the chain of command, and look at who is responsible for what, or there will be many more similar problems where people just walk away when they should be facing criminal charges.
Some of these CE/COO`s and the like oversee genuine criminal negligence, and often just scuttle off with nice fat pensions after a few months "gardening leave".
And yes, it makes me angry because it is so staggeringly inefficient and expensive.
