The legal onus here (i.e. the “responsibility”) – is upon the family choosing to hire private healthcare – not the behaviour of a) the private healthcare firm, or b) the individual healthcare employee concerned. If the NHS was involved, the staff concerned would have been investigated to ascertain if they had been deficient in their providing of the care they had given. If the answer was “yes” – then they would be “Suspended” (with or without pay depending upon circumstance), and/or “Arrested” by the police depending upon the severity of those charges. If only “Suspended” – then the case would probably head to a tribunal to decide the appropriate punishment – either “Re-instatement” or “Dismissal” (and being permanently “Stroke-off” the Medical Register). Families and individuals would have to then seek redress in the Civil Courts – at their own expense. It can be worth the effort and expense – as the British government often pay-out the high millions in NHS compensation for malpractice (this is because the NHS is owned by the British public – because it is funded by general taxation). As the US is demanding the end of all Socialist institutions in Europe – the NHS is being systematically dismantled and replaced with a deficient and entirely lacking private equivalent – people are dying from a malpractice that possesses no legal ability to put right – as this would hold the capitalists to account for their treatment of us. Many rich people who support private health vote Tory – and then they lament when it goes wrong. What a mess the modern UK is today
