Preston Davey murder… Nottingham maternity deaths – why do we reward public sector staff when people die on their watch?

The article questions the accountability of public sector staff when tragedies occur under their watch, highlighting the cases of Preston Davey and several maternity deaths in Nottingham. It criticizes the system that often rewards rather than punishes those responsible for such failures, arguing that this approach undermines justice for victims and their families. The author suggests that this systemic issue needs urgent reform to ensure that those who make critical mistakes are held accountable, thus preventing future tragedies.
