@GuvnaJohn @NewcastleHosps @nuthwb The trusts determination to protect its reputation at all costs took precedence even when my husbands accuser was jailed, the judge branding them a ‘liar and a cheat and a fraud and portraying themself as the victim’ the trust refused to allow him an appeal or put in a grievance
