Proceeding contribution from Richard Taylor (Independent (affiliation)) 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

As a member of the medical profession, I was staggered and saddened by the low profile and lack of effectiveness of staff whistleblowers in Stafford. I therefore welcome the Secretary of State's promise to update whistleblowers guidance. The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 and the work of Public Concern at Work need far more publicity. Does the Secretary of State agree that we still need to consider extra measures to support whistleblowers, who are still terrified of going through the normal channels? That is the whole point of my private Member's Bill.
