Now do you understand why BBC's coverage of NHS deaths was so minimal?

'Former Health Secretaries Andy Burnham and Alan Johnson ignored 81 requests for a public inquiry into Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust in the two years after it was first warned of poor NHS care, it has emerged.

Andy Burnham and Alan Johnson, two former Health Secretaries, turned down dozens of requests for public inquiries into the Mid-Staffordshire scandal, including 20 from fellow MPs.'

The Telegraph reports the above.

The BBC's coverage of NHS deaths was minimal & so quickly relegated to other news, that I was pretty sure there was a reason beyond lefty NHS worship. It seems that there might well be.

Somehow I doubt that the BBC will report the above news unless they are forced to by events and even then they'll find a way to protect their Labour friends.
