Your Hospital

Today the Observer headlines  19 Hospitals have high death rates, and  NHS 'failing patients' on crucial care.   Inside are two articles;  one that puts a human face on what it calls a catalogue of human errors, and an article by health minister Andrew Landsley

These are timed to coincide with the publication of The Dr Foster Hospital Guide which can be downloaded at
www.drfosterhealth.co.uk

Please don't panic, to get some good info about your local Royal Devon and Exeter Hostpital Trust's performance in the form of a report card go to  http://www.drfosterhealth.co.uk/quality-reports/trust.aspx?otype=2&id=42

However does the inevitable drift towards privatisation and the introduction of a profit motive , which must occur  when as Landsley writes..."Soon GPs will be responsible for designing and paying for local health".  as described in  our blog The Biggest Threat to the NHS Yet  which has a link to Unite's website where the dangers of  Landsley's policies are explained in detail.
