“This trust carries out post mortem on behalf of the coroner and also where relatives have not objected, in order to establish cause of death. In some cases, organs will have been removed and retained for further study, teaching and research…..”

David Highton is to leave the role of chief executive of the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust in April. The announcement of Mr Highton’s departure comes after the trust revealed debts of £20m. One MP has claimed Mr Highton, who has overseen a host of costly improvements at the struggling trust, left before he was forced to go.

…They found hope in the pioneering Vitamin B12 Unit at Westminster and Chelsea Hospital in London where they were told that Alex, now 13, had a vitamin B12 deficiency, which drastically exacerbated his autistic symptoms.
But as Alex was receiving treatment — including injections of vital B12 co-enzymes — the unit closed without warning.
The closure appalled families who relied on the unit.
Dr Bhatt negotiated with the hospital’s chief executive, David Highton, to keep the unit open at a cost of £200,000 a year.
But Mr Highton and the Chelsea and Westminster Trust Board —which has authority over the hospital’s £230 million health provision — refused to provide funding and claimed Dr Bhatt’s test procedures were experimental and unethical.
The suggestion is denied by Dr Bhatt, who ran the unit for 10 years and is recognised worldwide as a specialist in the condition.
He thinks the closure has more to do with funding and medical politics than ethics.
Parents were outraged not to be notified of the unit’s closure. They turned up for appointments to find it shut.
On the council of government ‘Skills for Health’, also called ‘Skills Academy’, as Managing Director of ‘Clinicenta’.

15 September 2006 : NHS patients will soon be able to choose to recover at home under the care of nurses from MediHome Limited, the Hospital-Care-At-Home company. MediHome, in partnership with Clinicenta, will provide this service for two new surgical treatment centres in South London.
MediHome Nurses will care for patients in their own homes following a wide range of operations instead of having to remain in hospital. These new surgical treatment centres are part of the Government’s programme to widen the choice available to NHS patients. Clinicenta’s two surgical units will start treating patients in April 2008.
David Highton, Managing Director of Clinicenta, said : “We are very pleased to be working with MediHome to deliver this innovative approach to patient care. NHS patients choosing to have their operations with Clinicenta will be able to enjoy a service that until now has only been available to patients who can afford private treatment.”

13) A David Highton wrote a letter to the Telegraph in support of ‘Children aged eight enlisted as council snoopers’.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2689996/Children-aged-eight-enlisted-as-council-snoopers.html
As one of the volunteer Streetwatchers for Ealing I’m puzzled by both some of the reporting and the reaction to the concept of local residents taking pride in their streets and trying to help keep them clean and tidy.
In Ealing the Streetwatchers simply report items such as dumped rubbish, broken paving stones, faulty street lights and similar. There is not the slightest question of spying on anyone whatsoever. And in the last few years we have helped make a significant improvement to the look and state of our streets – and I repeat ‘our streets’. This improvement is appreciated by the vast majority of the residents who want their streets to be clean.
As for the Junior Streetwatchers – what on earth is wrong with encouraging youngsters to care for their environment and actually do something to help make it better? How many people just walk by dumped rubbish and moan but do nothing and then complain about the state of their streets? If we want our streets to look clean then we need to do something about it ourselves and Ealing’s voluntary Streetwatcher programme enables local residents and youngsters to do just this.

So much for the UK Gov’s constitutional duty of representing the Crown Dependencies in International matters (we pay for this!) Did they forget this obligation when they froze the assets of these banks held in the UK? They certainly made sure they were all right with ING. Maybe we should ask for a refund
