No matter which way you look at the stats, complaints about nurses have
INCREASED, whilst 'Strike Off's' have DECREASED.
When asked why two (2) members of the public had been given conflicting
information, the Nursing and Midwifery Council wrote to Mrs. Brooks and said
"The reason the figures differ is that the information sent to you was based
on the date the complaint was received while the information sent to Mr.
Powell was based on the date of the hearing (this is the year when the
panels decisions were made to impose the sanctions = Striking off
orders/removed)." Although neither Mrs. Brooks nor Mr. Powell had made any
such defined reason for wanting to know about NMC 'Strike Off's.
