Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust is criticised for payments to PR firm, the BBC reveals.
A mental health trust that was named the worst in the country has spent over £800,000 on a public relations firm, the BBC can reveal.
During that period, a review was published which said the trust had lost track of its figures for patient deaths. "Having worked in multiple NHS organisations I've never come across this before. To spend such enormous amounts of tax-payers money, in my opinion, is an obscene waste of public money."The Norwich South Labour MP Clive Lewis said he was "aghast" at the cost."If been using public money to tell the CQC that there isn't a problem, then I'd like to know about it," he added.
"None of the work we have done is in opposition to providing good care to patients, it is essential in supporting NHS colleagues to focus on running the services that people need." "That money could be going to pay for clinical staff on the ground. You might be talking about maybe 10 mental health nurses."NSFT is not the only NHS trust in Norfolk to have contracted Hood & Woolf.
