Should Senior Management Of The Care Quality Commission Face Criminal Charges.

[barney15c]

This quango by any other name deliberately covered up its own incompitence with regards to Baby deaths at the Furness Hospital in Barrow, Cumbria. Read behind all the eloquent language and what you get is what amounts to criminal behaviour. Conveniently many of the management of the CQC have moved on but because of the Data protection act they can't be named, whether they hold posts in other government departments or if they recieved payoffs, so 'legally' we can't be sure if any action (if at all) was taken against them. Should it be a prequesite that any senior management be legaly accountable for any 'failings' under their watch. The same is being proposed for reckless bankers after all. I'm geting seriously p**sed off hearing the lessons wil be learnt spiel that happens every time another story of mismanagement and incompitence is discovered. It makes you wonder what other dirty litle secrets are waitng to be unearthed.
