The news that the University Hospital of North Staffordshire has restricted the consultant under investigation from seeing patients will restore public confidence in the hospital. Newcastle under Lyme Health Scrutiny is working with Staffordshire Health Scrutiny to get to the bottom of this. We hope to be able to report back in September, in the meantime there is little I can add to what is already in the public domain through the press.
