NMC Nurses and Midwives condemmed

A recent Freedom of Information request showed that Liverpool Community Care Trust referred 11 nurses to the Nursing and Midwifery Council between 2011 and 2015

7 had No Case To Answer
1 received a Suspension Order with Fitness to Practice impaired

1  found Fitness to Practice not impaired
2  received Striking Off Orders

Ms Lockett, who had been director of operations and executive nurse at LCH between 2011 and 2014, was responsible for providing services to 750,000 people on Merseyside.

An independent review of the trust found that patients had suffered "unnecessary harm" after cost-cutting led to severe staff shortages.

There was controversy over Ms Lockett's case as she was suspended by FtP panel but many, including  MP Rosie Cooper, felt she should have been struck off for her actions.  Ms Lockett had failed to take adequate action concerning reports of inadequate staffing and medication administration and she did not properly respond to reports following the deaths of inmates at Liverpool prison.

It was also found that she bullied and intimidated colleagues, including telling one nurse that she had "wasted 35 years of her life in the nursing profession".

We are unsure if she herself referred these 11 registrants during this time - but if she did you would wonder if the one that received suspension order and the 2 that were struck off strike off order will have their cases reviewed to determine if this was appropriate or if there is context to reconsider??
