From NHS Managers Net, some useful advice (as kindly pointed out, CQC stands for Care Quality Commission):


Should you be taken ill, I recommend having pinned to your waistcoat a twenty pound note and a list. This list should be compiled of hospitals you do not wish to be conveyed to and the twenty pound note should be enough for a taxi to take you to where you do want to be looked after.


Take my advice, always use a licensed taxi and use this list of hospitals you should avoid:


Scarborough Hospital; Milton Keynes Hospital; Royal Cornwall Hospital; Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool; Queen's Hospital, Romford; Stamford & Rutland Hospital; Southampton General Hospital; Croydon University Hospital; Bodmin Hospital, Cornwall; Northampton General Hospital; St Peter's Hospital, Maldon; Queen Mary's Hospital, London; Chase Farm Hospital, London; Westmorland General Hospital; Pilgrim Hospital, Leicestershire; St Anne's House, East Sussex; and Princess Royal Hospital, West Sussex.


Should you be having a baby; don't be delivered to, or at, Queen's Hospital in Romford, Essex and if a mental health issue befalls you dodge going to Ainslie and Highams Inpatient Facility, London; The Campbell Centre, Bedford; Forston Clinic, Dorset; The Cavell Centre, Peterborough; The Bradgate Mental Health Unit, Leicestershire; Avon and Wiltshire NHS Mental Health Trust; Blackberry Hill Hospital, Bristol; and Park House, Manchester. If dementia knocks on your door don' t go into Milton Keynes.


How can I give this advice? These services have been found wanting; not that the CQC made it public. The Labour opposition team forced them into fessing-up using FoI procedures. As recently as November the CQC has been telling these Trusts, incomprehensibly, it seems, in secret, that in parts of their services staffing levels are dangerous.

    • Ah but they do -  Janet Kay as well on Monday, but sadly I am away.  Surely nobody can complain about some Lovers Rock.  Surely.....  
    • I am not here to justify or excuse Lambeth Council's decisions,  but you would have to be very very naive not to understand that cancelling several eventsof that size at auch short notice would be anything other than financially catastrophic for all involved. 
    • I think it demonstrates the lengths councils will go to to appease commercial stakeholders and prioritise them over local residents and their own constituents. Councils appear to become very myopic once revenue is involved....
