In which case we're in full agreement that in all likelihood issues such as these were/are frequently reported by front line staff to senior managers who then fail to act for reasons best known to themselves and that whatever regulatory regimes are in place clearly aren't fit for purpose 12 years after Bliar started saving the NHS....
Given the seriousness of this appalling situation, I'd urge anyone reading this thread who's in any way connected to the NHS and aware of similar managerial failings in their workplace to make a point of reporting their concerns to the media before more lives are unnecessarily lost.

Me too - each time I read about this story I keep thinking it's going to turn out to be some sort of perverse wind up. How on earth could this scandal be allowed to happen and how could anyone seriously think it wouldn't be discovered sooner or later??....

It seems institutionalised negligence/ineptitude isn't the sole preserve of the FSA.
