‘Don’t blame Health failings on me’

By Dolores Cowburn

THE man who had political responsibility for Health when a patient died on the operating table says that he bears no blame for his former department’s failings.

Former Health Minister Stuart Syvret has distanced himself from a damning independent report which has highlighted management failings, a culture of cover-ups and poor practice within the Health Service.

Speaking from self-imposed exile in the UK, Senator Syvret has instead called for the sacking of Hospital senior management.

He wants acting chief executive Richard Jouault, director of nursing and governance Rose Naylor and medical director Richard Lane to leave.
