“I had no idea this happened. Were we informed? I am very concerned about duty of candour here… Why weren’t the victims informed immediately?”

This was NHS England’s response after learning of the records breach at University Hospitals of Liverpool Foundation Trust, revealed in emails obtained by HSJ this week.

On this episode we talk more about what happened next, including the independent investigation ordered and Sir Jim Mackey’s warning to trusts. 

Also this week we discuss a story that speaks to the ongoing concerns about culture within ambulances trusts.
