  • "It's the previous director of Colchester hospital who should take most of the responsibility.
    BUT BET HE WON'T.
    It was Peter Murphy who wrote patronising letters to families following previous scandals.
    'Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we could learn from this'.
    Could?
    Could but didn't!
    Investigating Colchester hospital is long overdue."

Hospital bosses reassure MPs in meeting

Hospital bosses reassure MPs in meeting Hospital bosses reassure MPs in meeting

ESSEX MPs said they were reassured by a meeting with hospital bosses in the wake of a death rates probe.

Colchester MP, Sir Bob Russell, and Harwich and North Essex MP, Bernard Jenkin, met with Colchester Hospital Trust's chief executive, Gordon Coutts at 9am on Friday.

Both said the meeting was "reassuring" and were convinced the investigation would absolve the hospital from a Mid-Staffordshire type scandal.

Colchester General Hospital will be scrutinised by expert clinicians in June.
