Fantasy Island NSFT Effective vs Alexander Report

This 'corporate video' was made in preparation for the visit of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT).

This visit, which resulted in an 'Inadequate' rating and the NHS regulator, Monitor, placing NSFT into Special Measures, took place months after the completion of the interviews for the Alexander Report into the catastrophic consequences of the radical redesign at NSFT.

We tried to use the Freedom of Information Act to force NSFT to publish the Alexander Report, the release of which was clearly in the public interest.

NSFT fought tooth and nail against the publication of the damning report, only finally releasing a redacted version after the Alexander Report was raised at Prime Minister's Questions and subsequently leaked to and published by the EDP.

The video is remarkable for the absence of service users and carers and the predominance of middle managers.

Wouldn't NSFT be better advised to concentrate on the delivery of decent services rather than making 'corporate videos'?
