Dear 2.20. Some of us had to read all of the evidence and attend the sessions as part of our campaign. All my fellow-members in Cure the NHS lost loved ones or were themselves harmed. Believe you me the 'sham and charade' is a well-chosen phrase. The title of Julie Bailey's book 'From Ward to Whitehall' is an accurate summary of responsibility for the disaster. Nicholson acted as mentor to discredited chief exec at Mid Staffs Martin Yeates and as I recall was part of the selection panel for his appoitnment. But please also read our Blueprint for a New NHS. It's a radical plan for you folks on the front line, all of you, to say to the leadership "We accept the challenge! We will rebuild a new, zero harm NHS." Don't wait for the report!
