How's "deep cleaning the NHS" going?

A lovely heartwarming story in the Daily Mail today, it would appear that "Joan Horne ... a tape recorder in her hand, she marched off to Barnsley Hospital in Yorkshire and forced managers to admit that not only had Edwin (her husband) contracted a lethal infection called Clostridium difficile (C. diff) as a patient, but that doctors failed to declare the truth on his death certificate." The whole story is shocking and disgusting but no more than anyone who has visited an NHS hospital recently would expect.

It looks as though this is yet another example of a dishonest, incompetent government fiddling the figures to try and hide their incompetence. Can anyone think of any other examples?
