Read this report and then tell me why the nurses involved should not be charged with murder and banged up for life .....

I had a low opinion of it before but I will never trust the NHS now.

I see that the CPS was involved but took no actions. Surprise, surprise!

From my point of view the NHS started to slip when nurses were sold the idea that they needed a degree. The last few times I have been in hospital the nurses have been remote and aloof and any "nursing" being done was carried out by the Health Care Assistants.

Totally agree with you there Frank................my own MIL was a wonderful nurse and she went into it at 15 and trained on the job! My nephew, M's brother's lad, has just completed his degree in nursing (he wants to be a navy medic) but to me he lacks a certain empathy..........

What a disgusting shocking outrageous report, akin to murder and like the top boy guilty of what can only be described as calculated murder in my opinion, and the outrage is that he is protected by government.
I am amazed that Wolverhampton has not been given publicity for the shocking number of still births that occured in 2006 that were publiced.., This hospital one and the same who recruited nurses from Africa found to have aids when they arrived, and who remained and were still kept on doing "safe nursing" and receiving costly treatment
I am not sure whether the conditions have improved, but I was there when Yasmin gave birth, the
hospital birth area was filthy including the lavatory, the office in the delivery room was a dump for overflowing bloody materials, there was blood on the walls floor and window ledges, disgusting... Two dis-interested African female doctors wandered in ignoring my daughter and other patients not even bidding Good Morning!!.. The two midwives were super who delivered my grandson one from Germany, both so fed up with the lack of care and support that the German nurse was returning to her own country she hated working there...... There was a lot of publicity at the time but like all bad news it was soon forgotten...
