Andy Burnham's Constituency Trust In High Death Rate Scandal


PRESS RELEASE

Andy Burnham's Constituency Trust in High Death Rate Scandal

The Health Secretary Andy Burnham is under fire following the high

death rate at his local hospital - Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS

Trust

Mr Miguel Cubell's mother Eileen Cubells was treated for an infection when

she really had a lymphoma. Since then Mr Cubells has fought tirelessly to

raise the issue that the death rate at his local Trust was higher than

average. Following long discussions with Professor Brian Jarman, the matter

was investigated. Mr Cubells analysed the data and presented his material to

Professor Brian Jarman. Today, Professor Jarman has agreed with Miguel

Cubells and has listed the Trust for investigation as one of the top 25

Trusts with higher than average death rate. See BBC article

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8584600.stm .

This is a victory for vulnerable members of the local public and we hope

Andy Burnham will ensure the Trust is investigated to ensure that it is not

a clear and present danger to the public.
