Dr Ravi Jayaram, a consultant paediatrician at the Countess of Chester Hospital whose warnings about Letby were ignored, said a system needs to be created where top-level NHS managers are subject to scrutiny
DAUK believes that managerial regulation could improve care across the NHS and other healthcare providers. Its petition calls for the creation of new laws regulating healthcare managers via an independent body. The frontline lobbying group believes this will make managers more accountable for patient safety impacts from their decisions.
“Managers must make difficult decisions on whistleblowing concerns, but shouldn’t escape responsibility for unsafe practices or outright neglect of concerns. Regulation would help to ensure transparency and accountability for those with such responsibility.” Mr Barclay added: “As the Prime Minister has said, we’ll ensure that the legal framework for that has the full confidence of the families affected and I’ll be engaging with them on that – whether that’s on a statutory or a non-statutory basis – to ensure that inquiry, looking at issues such as whistleblowers and other actions related to this case, are fully investigated.
