A former trust nurse tells Newsnight leaders intimidated staff to stop them voicing concerns to inspectors
By Sean Clare & David GrossmanA world-renowned cancer centre hit by whistleblowing concerns over alleged bullying has been downgraded by the health watchdog.
As a result, an off-site session was arranged by the CQC, she said, "for people to come anonymously and speak to them". Following the downgrading of the trust's rating, Mr Kline said leaders should now consider their positions, adding: "I think for a trust like The Christie, a small specialist trust, any form of downgrading is a significant problem."The Christie had been rated as "outstanding" in its previous two CQC inspections.
She thanked staff who came forward to give feedback, adding: "I know speaking up in these circumstances isn't easy but it's important it happens." BBC Newsnight put the claims about how the inspection process was handled to The Christie but it declined to comment, saying it was a matter for the CQC.
