Naz you are credit to the people of Yorkshire that you represent. Not all MPs have the courage and integrity to speak and act as you have. None of the 4 MPs that have helped me have been local to the hospital in my whistleblowing case

NHS TOLD A DETECTIVE TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. THE BABIES WERE DYING. Dr Maxwell McLean (Dr. Maxwell Mclean) spent 30 years as a West Yorkshire Police detective superintendent solving serious crimes. In 2019 he became Chair of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS FT). He thought his job was to hold leadership to account. @NHS had other ideas. By 2021 he had clocked something alarming. The Trust was taking 14 months to investigate three preventable newborn deaths. The national target is 60 days. He escalated internally. He went to NHS England (NHS England). He went to the Care Quality Commission (CQCProf). Both of them looked at the preventable deaths of babies and collectively decided to do absolutely nothing. McLean commissioned an independent review himself. It confirmed every single concern he had raised. Within two weeks of the board receiving that report, they handed him an ultimatum: resign or be dismissed. He resigned. Then he took them to Leeds Employment Tribunal. The Trust's response was to argue he was not a worker and therefore had no whistleblowing protections at all. A hospital chair, governing a trust responsible for half a million people, was being told he was essentially a volunteer with no rights. In February 2025 an Employment Judge disagreed. The ruling was landmark: NHS Trust Chairs are workers under employment law. The full hearing continues. The CEO who McLean raised concerns about remains in post. NHS England and the CQC, who were told babies were dying and chose silence, remain in post. Freedom to speak up, the NHS calls it. Maxwell McLean calls it a sham. The tribunal judge appears to be the only one in this story who did their job.
