Patient safety commissioner warns calls for changes are 'falling on deaf ears'

England's patient safety commissioner says her calls for changes following failings highlighted in three health scandals are 'falling on deaf ears'. Dr Henrietta Hughes made the comments at a meeting in Westminster on Tuesday of MPs and campaigners of medical scandals. It comes after Sir Brian Langstaff's highlighted a decades-long 'subtle, pervasive, chilling' cover-up by successive governments and the NHS in the conclusion of his report on the infected blood scandal.

' The government is yet to say whether it will implement her redress plan, but they have recently turned down a request from Primodos campaigners to review the scientific evidence about the drug. In answer to a question tabled in parliament on 18 April, health minister Maria Caulfield said the government remains 'hugely sympathetic to the families who believe that they have suffered as a result of using hormone pregnancy tests'.
