Sorry: it is late and I am slightly sleep-deprived.

The anaethetist who blew the whistle because of the Bristol paediatric heart scandal (Steve Bolsin) had to move to Australia in the end.
The Trust Chief Exec at the time (Dr John Roylance) didn't know anything about dead babies, apparently.

Meanwhile the radiologist (Dr Otto Chan) who drew attention to the backlog of unreported x/rays at the London was sacked for pointing it out.
