| Quote: Many hospital doctors are too scared to raise concerns about patient care or staff behaviour in case it affects their career, according to a survey. The study by BMA Scotland found 40% of the 384 doctors questioned do not report issues of concern. The organisation called for doctors to be given more protection from managers. It said it had "concerns" about the culture within the NHS, and insisted doctors should not be afraid to blow the whistle. | |
