Time for major surgery: Jeremy Hunt slams 'rogue' NHS health system and calls for overhaul

By Emma Soteriou

Jeremy Hunt has criticised the "rogue system" he sat at the top of when he was Health Secretary, adding that he was "shocked to his core" by failures in care.Mr Hunt - who is the current chair of the Health and Social Care Committee - said a fear of transparency and honesty in the NHS when it comes to avoidable deaths and mistakes is a "major structural problem" that must be addressed.

"Corrosive consequences of such thinking" were cover-ups that the Department of Health and NHS "were complicit" in, he said. In an excerpt from his book - Zero: Eliminating Unnecessary Deaths in a Post-Pandemic NHS - which was published in the Times, Mr Hunt explained: "Too often managers who had failed were recycled to jobs in a different part of the country, where they continued to make the same mistakes. And because of the secrecy, the wheels of change ground slowly.

"It was not about rogue staff or a rogue hospital. It was about a rogue system. A rogue system that I, as health secretary, sat at the top of."
