The Case for a public inquiry into hospital standards is now overwhelming

After more revelations about standards of care at several NHS hospital trusts, the Liberal Democrats have said the case for a public inquiry is overwhelming.

Liberal Democrat Health spokesman Norman Lamb said:

“We were told that the Mid Staffordshire case was a one-off scandal.

“At the time I called for a public inquiry and it was rejected then.

“Now the case is overwhelming and we appear to have a system which seems to be able to deliver ‘paper-safety’ but not real ‘patient safety’.”
