The hospital’s top manager demanded the doctors write an apology to Letby and told them to stop making allegations against her

"Two consultants were ordered to attend mediation with Letby, even though they suspected she was killing babies

"On 29 June 2016, one of the consultants sent an email under the subject line: “Should we refer ourselves to external investigation?”

    That is why capitalism is fundamentally stupid. It rewards the slimiest, not the best.

      The NHS is not capitalist, it’s a centralised government managed health system.

        Capitalism doesn’t have much to do with this at all. Like others have said, the NHS is a state run organization. If you want to turn this into a political issue (it really isn’t, and isn’t appropriate given the context) you should be criticizing the state and inneffective, malicious hierarchical power structures

        Just goes to show you that any system can be subverted, however, in the capitalist system the subversion is often profitable with minimal consequences for the recipients of the profits. Yay, capitalism (/s).

          Sure, no one has ever seen a communist system be subverted and used for personal gain 🙄

      This is a publicly funded NHS hospital.

      And before anyone makes any assumptions, I am not suggesting that’s a bad thing.

        and why is it being dismantled? To replace it with a for-profit system…

          Please tell me what you mean by “capitalist business practices”.

          “Ignoring warnings” is not a character flaw unique to “capitalists”.

            It really isn’t this is the similar to say state run nuclear plants…face saving.

            I fully.support the NHS method as think it good value (if not starved of funding). But have to admit all systems can have flaws.
