- Patients where neglected
- No one took responsibility for what happened
- People health was at risk
- Lying occurred "There is no statutory obligation to be honest with patients when things go wrong"
In terms of how he should carry out the second inquiry these are some ethical considerations i think he should bare in mind-
- He should consider the relationship between David Nicholson and Martin Yeates- there maybe conflicts and tension.
- He cant put the blame on anyone for what happened
- Doesn't want to insult anyone as this may effect cooperation
- Take into consideration Martin Yeates previous health issue (as he is aware of it)
- Cant assume that Alan Johnson and Andy Burnham- that they did or didn't know what was happening as this would affect his opinion
- Lots of people involved- how his he going to do it fairly?
- Lots of standards involved- each standard should be taken into consideration
- cultural Issue- how is this going to effect the outcome?
- Needs to consider cultural differences of the workforce- may have had an effect on the phenomenon
- Last two statements he needs to consider- he needs to this in a fair manner before creating an opinion
- fundamental questions asked cant be assuming or misleading- apply an opinion or personal thought
Anyone else who has looked at this case study and willing to share any ethical issue that you feel arose?
