Treatment at one of Britain's leading children's hospitals is worse than that in the developing world, according to a damning doctors' report uncovered by The Observer which also reveals how parents are "told lies" to cover up sub-standard care.

This is truly awful but I'm not sure what it has to do with this forum. If you are trying to help improve care by publicising poor performance then good on you and never mind the vehicle. My children have though had fantastic treatment under National Health Care - though they weren't at Birmingham.0

Says it all really.
