Just heard on the 11am News that no senior managers are to be prosecuted over this deadly outbreak at Kent hospitals, despite not having learned lessons from a previous outbreak. It's said that the HSE doesn't have enough evidence to proceed.

It sounds as though they've got off on a technicality.

Doesn't anyone at the top take responsibility for anything any more?

Ian.

Bit of a rhetorical question, that, Ian, and even if they do they usually get a handsome payoff in leaving.

Actually, I think this is the Stoke Mandeville Hospital case, rather than the Kent one - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7096099.stm - the investigation into the failings at Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells, where the top management resigned and had any payment suspended, continues.

Sorry, yes, I think you're right. Apologies to Kent, at least for now, black marks to Stoke Mandeville.

Ian.

Just thought I'd bump this, having spotted, tucked away in a corner of page 15 of the Telegraph yesterday, this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=C4QBU0LWP3HGRQFIQMFCFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2008/01/25/nhs325.xml

Wouldn't even be funny if it were April 1st Rolling Eyes
