“I have created to a authority of a United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust to ask him because their initial greeting when faced with this was to get their lawyers to send a minute rather than to get to a bottom of a studious reserve issues that were raised.
“I don’t consider it’s acceptable, we consider it was a wrong thing to do.â€
He pounded a enlightenment of “institutional self-preservation†in tools of a NHS.
