| Summary: | Kim Holt drank deep of the bitterest draught the NHS can offer. She was kept on “special leave” by the Great Ormond Street Hospital trust after she warned, along with three colleagues, that its paediatric services in Haringey posed a serious risk to patient safety. The death of Peter Connelly (Baby P) at the hands of his parents in 2007 justified those fears, but not until 2011 did the hospital apologise for Holt’s treatment. The worst by far was Lansley because of his Health and Social Care Bill, which I thought was unnecessary when we already had so many challenges brought in through austerity. To be part of a real cultural change in the health services and to implement some really meaningful interventions. |
