have heard calls from dr bale kirkup, who led the inquiry into baby deaths at morecambe bay and in east kent say that there needs to be a much more rigorous focus on data so that when consultants for example, the consultants for example, the consultants here at the countess of chester, the paediatricians who tried to raise concerns, when they go to management, they have a rock—solid data to back—up their cases, ratherthan rock—solid data to back—up their cases, rather than a feeling that things were not right and that they did not have that sort of data, according to dr bale —— dr bill kirkup. now he is very well respected, he said that work is beginning to happen but it is far from being rolled out right across the health service, so i think there are lessons to learn like that, for example, and perhaps the warning systems that could be put in place could be much more effective. dominic, thank you, our health correspondent dominic hughes, he was outside the countess of chester hospital, and you heard that statement from the current medical director. ijust want statement from the current med

have most cases, when you have incidents not as extreme as this one, but you know, the failure of east kent instance, the failure of maternity services, the failure of bristol children's heart hospital over the years we've seen failure after failure after failure. and what you've got is a fragmented organisation where people cannot or will not sort out the it that allows information about patients to be exchanged properly . so it's very exchanged properly. so it's very difficult to know who to complain to because i think when people you know, i'm sure the viewers will say, yeah, i've had bad experiences, but most people will say no. the people who looked after me were absolutely brilliant, which they are what i think most of us and where the problem lies. and this is the rosy tinted nurses. if you make a complaint about, oh , i don't a complaint about, oh, i don't know, admin , illustrative errors know, admin, illustrative errors on outpatients , appointment or on outpatients, appointment or something like that, or possibly care, you will get a bland response if indeed you get a response if

sorry, in east kent with with proper care .e of the maternity areas. one of the reasons why the police initially started looking into lucy letby was because of a spike in baby deaths in that area. generally lucy letby was able to sit there and say that actually this was medical negligence that led to the deaths of the babies, not her murdering them and pinpoint and make it make it astonishingly difficult to be able to prove, frankly, due to a poor standard of care and a bad track record of care generally around the nation made it very difficult that it was difficult to prove that it was her was doing the killing . her who was doing the killing. and think this is a much and i think this is a much bigger here. i wanted bigger issue here. so i wanted to highlight that for you because we are going to be told lessons will be learned from all of lessons be of this. lessons will be learned. this will learned. nothing like this will ever well, ever happen again. well, i don't believe for single believe that for a single second, account
