The only remedy and accountablity against the NHS for inadequate services is, as here, a damages action in neglience after a life has been lost or physical suffering/damage incurred.
Such private legal actions are seen as an inevitable consequence of NHS service provision, and risk assessed into the NHS insurance premiums. This laissez- faire, buisness, inhuman attiude towards life and human suffering is the reason for the many NHS trust scandals, and the general inadequacy of medical care. Until a better system of accountability is found, NHS systems will remain inept and dangerous.
