Steve Doughty in 20 June 2012 wrote for the daily mail and noted important facts about the killers of NHS establishment: NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed. Professor Patrick Pullicino said doctors had turned the use of a controversial ‘death pathway’ into the equivalent of euthanasia of the elderly. He claimed there was often a lack of clear evidence for initiating the Liverpool Care Pathway, a method of looking after terminally ill patients that is used in hospitals across the country. It is designed to come into force when doctors believe it is impossible for a patient to recover and death is imminent. There are around 450,000 deaths in Britain each year of people who are in hospital or under NHS care. Around 29 per cent – 130,000 – are of patients who were on the LCP. Professor Pullicino claimed that far too often elderly patients who could live longer are placed on the LCP and it had now become an ‘assisted death pathway rather than a care pathway’. He cited ‘pressure on beds and difficulty with nursing confused or difficult-to-manage elderly patients’ as factors. Professor Pullicino revealed he had personally intervened to take a patient off the LCP who went on to be successfully treated. He said this showed that claims they had hours or days left are ‘palpably false’. In the example he revealed a 71-year-old who was admitted to hospital suffering from pneumonia and epilepsy was put on the LCP by a covering doctor on a weekend shift”.
In another report David Vance (Altnewsmedia) revealed that NHS has been the killing field in Britain: “Dr Jane Barton was found to be responsible for a culture of dishing out powerful opiates at the Gosport War Memorial hospital in Hampshire, after a government report said more than 450 people had their lives shortened. “450 had their lives shortened”? Oh, is that the new media euphemism for killing patients who medics deem past their sell by date? Were the family consulted in this decision to bring the lives of their family members to an abrupt end? No. Was there transparency in making this approach to ending life available to all those concerned? No. Here are just a few of the many whose lives were terminated under the death culture overseen by Dr. Barton. “Yes, I accept these patients were mostly elderly, and frail, and in pain. Yes, I accept that it is very challenging for any Doctor when faced with making critical decisions about them. But when a conscious decision is made to terminate the lives of patients, and when this decision is hidden from family relatives, then this is a step too far and an abrogation of the fundamental medical obligation Primum non nocere – first, do no harm”.
Forty thousand patients die every year as a result of mistakes by NHS staff. This was revealed in a comprehensive report of Tory MP David Davis. He published a 35-page report, highlighting a dossier by the Chief Medical Officer Professor Liam Donaldson which catalogues around 850,000 ‘adverse events’–or errors–in the NHS each year. 40,000 patients were killed the report said. The Gosport inquiry report revealed that GP ‘responsible’ for practice of lethal opiate prescribing which may have killed up to 650 patients at NHS hospital. Alex Matthews-King Health on 20 June 2018 reported the killing of 650 patients. A public inquiry into the care at Gosport War Memorial Hospital in Hampshire found an “institutionalised practice of shortening lives” between 1989 and 2000 – during the tenure of one GP, Dr Jane Barton. Families, who have battled for 20 years to have their loved ones’ deaths investigated, were “marginalised” by hospital staff when they complained and “failed” by the police and medical regulators who did not act or investigate thoroughly, the inquiry found. Alex reported. Moreover, Tim Worstall in his analysis in Continental Telegraph (August 01, 2019) noted the killing of 30,000 patients by NHS every year:
“We’re told that Google’s Deep Mind can identify a problem before it kills people. That’s good, that’s nice. But now read the story the other way around. Currently the NHS kills 30,000 people a year through simple incompetence. Not such a good story now, is it? Artificial intelligence designed by Google’s DeepMind can now predict deadly kidney injury two days before it happens, in a breakthrough which could save the lives of 30,000 NHS patients each year. Around 100,000 people in Britain die from Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) annually which occurs when the organs suddenly stop functioning, creating a build up of waste in the blood and eventually death. That is good, no doubt about it. So, what’s the cause of this problem? It often occurs through dehydration in hospital patients, but until now has been difficult to predict. Previous NHS research has suggested that around 30 per cent of cases of kidney failure deaths are preventable if caught early, so the algorithm could prevent 30,000 deaths in Britain each year”.
On 05 March 2018, the Guardian newspaper reported the killing of hundreds of mental health patients in NHS hospitals. “Guardian investigation finds 271 highly vulnerable patients died between 2012 and 2017 after 706 failings by health bodies. Mental health campaigners said the findings were shocking and claimed that many of the deaths were avoidable and constituted a “tragedy”. “It is not acceptable that some trusts fail in some of the most fundamental requirements of providing care, with catastrophic consequences,” said Paul Farmer, chief executive of the mental health charity Mind. “Every one of these deaths is a tragedy, and it must be deeply difficult for families already having to come to terms with losing a loved one to learn that their death could have been prevented,” added Farmer, who chaired NHS England’s taskforce in 2015-16 on improving mental health care. The Guardian’s analysis found two trusts with notably high numbers of deaths. Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS trust and Camden and Islington NHS foundation trust in London each had 14 such deaths across the six years”.
However, the NHS Medication Errors contribute to as many as 22,000 deaths every year. On 23 February 2018, Tasnim, an Iranian newspaper reported NHS millions of prescribing errors and mixups which contribute to as many as 22,300 deaths a year, according to a major report commissioned by the Government. Errors include failures to properly monitor patients on powerful drugs, poor communication between GPs and hospitals, and giving patients the wrong medication, Independent reported. While the potential risk can be as low as giving the wrong strength inhaler, it can also mean that the medication for seriously ill patients in hospital is mixed up, with potentially lethal consequences. The research conducted by university academics in Manchester, Sheffield and York identified more than 230 million medication errors a year that took place in the NHS. The report said: “We estimate that 61.4 million and 4.8 million errors occur in England per annum that have potential to cause moderate or severe harm, respectively.” On average, 712 deaths a year were definitively linked to adverse drug reactions being the main cause of death. The number of deaths where medication errors played a part ranged from anything between 1,700 to 22,303. The newspaper reported.
On 03 August 2019, Press TV reported failure of the UK healthcare system repeatedly in the quality and safety of care. The National Health Service (NHS) is now under more criticism resulting from the sixth death due to hospital food being contaminated. The individual who died in a listeria outbreak caused by eating contaminated food at Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in southern England was one of nine confirmed cases of the infection. The sixth patient to die had eaten food supplied to the hospital by the Good Food Chain. Public Health England (PHE) continues to investigate whether more people have died at dozens of trusts. The NHS has experienced worse medical and hospital outbreaks, which have led to criticism of the standards of hygiene across the organization, with some patients buying private health insurance or travelling abroad to avoid the perceived threat of catching a “superbug” while in hospital. Since 2015, several films have uncovered that the staff of the specialist hospital Whorlton Hall, County Durham, abuse and mistreat patients with learning disabilities and autism. Experts believe the culture was deviant at the privately-run NHS-funded unit with evidence of “psychological torture”. Since the end of 2018, police has arrested and questioned 10 workers as part of an investigation into alleged physical and psychological abuse of patients. Press TV reported.
The NHS maternity scandal is another painful story Richard Vize reported for the Guardian on 22 November 2019: The NHS’s worst maternity scandal raises fundamental questions about the culture and safety of our health service. The Independent has revealed that an inquiry into maternity care at Shrewsbury and Telford hospital NHS trust has uncovered dozens of avoidable deaths and more than 50 babies suffering permanent brain damage over the past 40 years. The trust joins the roll call of NHS hospitals where endemic poor care
