Ipswich hospital Chief Exec gaffe

He told the trust board meeting that the food’s rubbish and we don’t let you sleep

I’m Alistair Clarke with news that hospitals are “not safe places and the worst place you could possibly be”. Nick Hulme, the chief executive of the hospital trust that covers Ipswich and Colchester hospitals went on to tell the trust board meeting that the food’s rubbish and we don’t let you sleep. He’s since apologised for putting it so clumsily and the point he’s trying to make was that hospital is absolutely the best place for people with a clinical need – but acute hospitals are not the best place for people long term. For more care news, stay with us here on Care Radio
