They would probably pay out less in compensation for damages for indequate care too.Harlow bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534534725558939316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1894771369574668254.post-88287402319917746282012-12-07T05:37:34.503-08:002012-12-07T05:37:34.503-08:00When will Mr Lamb and the government recognise tha...When will Mr Lamb and the government recognise that the extent of the breakdown in trust between much of the public and the much of the medical profession demands urgent investigation - and that only a fully independent Public Inquiry is capable of addressing this?<br /><br />An attempt to paper over the cracks in this relationship or to whitewash the many issues underlying both this breakdown and the LCP will do nothing to address these issues. <br /><br />Mr Lamb's inadequate, half baked 'review', which seems to be the only type of 'investigation that he and will permit, carried out by those organisations with vested interests in end of life care, in the LCP and in maintaining the status quo as it is, will never address these issues and will fail to restore public confidence. Indeed, in my opinion, this indequate review is in danger of merely exacerbating current problems and of widening the gap between public, government and medical profession in respect of these issues.Harlow bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534534725558939316noreply@blogger.com
