West Suffolk Hospital staff 'feared raising concerns', says CQC

West Suffolk Hospital staff 'feared raising concerns', says CQC Staff at a hospital accused of conducting a "witch-hunt" to identify a whistleblower felt a lack of "freedom to speak up", a report has said.

The husband of Susan Warby, who died at West Suffolk Hospital in 2018, received an anonymous letter about her care.

Bosses asked doctors for fingerprints and handwriting samples to discover the author. The trust has since apologised.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) found the leadership "did not demonstrate an open and empowering culture". BBC News
