Francis Report on Mid Staffordshire — the NHS whistleblowing framework
Sir Robert Francis KC publishes the Report of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry. 290 recommendations on NHS culture, whistleblowing, duty of candour, and institutional response to patient-safety concerns. Establishes the canonical UK framework for how NHS trusts should respond to front-line concerns. The Countess of Chester institutional response in 2015–2017 is a textbook failure of this framework.
