Comment on: Jennie Fecitt: 'Ensure staff can question poor practice without fear of reprisal'
Anonymous | 28-Apr-2013 5:50 pm It isn't just about whether or not you raise a concern. It is about what you are prepared to do to ensure that it is investigated and actioned to your satisfaction.

Anonymous | 22-Apr-2013 9:07 am You are right that lay members have to be properly independent - but remember that it was relatives, not professionals, who did most to expose the scandalous situation at Mid Staffs. Professionals appointed by goverment, seem to me even less likely to criticise goverment policy!
