Proceeding contribution from Charlotte Atkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust.


Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust

First, may I congratulate Cure the NHS on its work? I am delighted that the Secretary of State is determined to learn the lessons from Stafford so that the whole NHS can benefit. It is absolutely right that hospital trust boards must always meet in public. It is also right that the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust should be de-authorised, but will the Secretary of State ensure that hospital managers do not profit from their failures and that other hospitals looking to apply for trust status, such as the University hospital of North Staffordshire, do not make the same mistakes as Stafford by putting financial issues and staffing levels before patient safety?
