Baby P story rolls on
2011-06-10 15:00:00
Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone reopened the Baby P debate last night with a call for the boss of Great Ormond Street to step down.
Dr Jane Collins, chief executive of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has faced fresh criticism over allegations that attempts were made to hide management failings following Baby P's death.
The allegations centre on the Sibert Report which investigated the doctor and systems involved in child protection run by the GOSH at Haringey.
An addendum to the report was authored by Dr Collins. However it omitted vital criticisms which have been revealed by the BBC following an FOI request.
This is the latest development in a story which yesterday saw compensation awarded by the Sun to Sylvia Henry, a social worker who had faced false allegations by the newspaper of negligence in her handing of the Baby P case.
Sharon Shoesmith, the former children's services director at Haringey Council also recently won compensation after judges said her employers had been "procedurally unfair" in sacking her three years ago.
