Punitive punishment does nothing to stop bad practice from happening. It does make sure that people who make mistakes cover them up. We especially do not want that in NHS organisations[1] - we want people to freely and openly admit to mistakes made. [1] I gently dislike it when people say "The NHS" - that's not a thing, and it hasn't existed for many years now. There are 4 NHSs in the UK, and each of those is made up of a bunch of smaller organisations that have little connection to the rest. In this situation "The NHS" did nothing. One hospital trust made this decision. Many other NHS trusts (and the Caldicott Guardians) were alarmed by the decision. |

That is highly questionable.
