The NHS

I have spoken many times about whistleblowing and the fact that the NHS treats its staff as criminals when they have the nerve to tell the world about awful treatment some patients receive while in the care of the NHS, yes it is an excellent service, but it has to be transparent, staff should not have to worry about pointing out problems they encounter while looking after patients, if the service is not up to standard the staff have the right to say so not for it to be buried and hidden from the public, as a patient we need to know what the treatment will be like when we are ill, if it is not up to standard we should know, that then gives us the patient information we need to know before we are admitted, it is too late when we are in there, but if staff are frightened to say anything we are all at risk, this is a management problem, dealt with by non clinical people who do not seem to be bothered by patient safety more the problem might reflect on the hospitals credibility, the required numbers are needed to show their competence it seems that patient safety/ treatment and experience are irrelevant to these people, they want to protect their jobs whatever the cost, the NHS has to protect the staff that have the nerve to report problems in service and no adverse comments or action taken against the staff member, this is how it is supposed to be but is not happening, it has to change and change now before we have another hospital who has multiple avoidable deaths. I have contacted my MP about this have you??.
