Barking and Dagenham hospital trust’s finances under investigation after taking £15m emergency loan from the NHS
PUBLISHED: 16:12 03 November 2017 | UPDATED: 16:20 03 November 2017 Matthew Clemenson Queen's Hospital, flagship hospital of the Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. Archant Barking and Dagenham’s hospital trust is having its finances formally investigated by the NHS after it was forced to take out a £15m bail-out loan from the NHS.

Congressional Investigation Needed into Scientific and Ethical Corruption at NIAAA
I used to think of the National Institutes of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) as a highly-reputed, objective, science-based agency whose primary goal was to reduce alcohol consumption to improve the public’s health. The scientific integrity of the NIAAA is critical, as it describes itself as “the largest funder of alcohol research in the world.” The agency is funded by taxpayers to the tune of $480 million a year. But then one day, all of that changed. On January 16, 2015, I was called into the office of the Director of NIAAA and was essentially reprimanded for conducting NIAAA-funded research that was detrimental to the alcohol industry. My NIAAA grant was focused on studying alcohol marketing and its possible link to underage youth drinking behavior.

At the meeting, I was told that I would never … [Read more...] about Congressional Investigation Needed into Scientific and Ethical Corruption at NIAAA

Letters to the Editor is a periodic Kaiser Health News feature. KHN welcomes all comments and will publish a selection. We edit for length and clarity and require full names. Surgery Centers: The Bigger Picture Here is my response—as a #journalist and #anesthesiologist–to the @KHNews/@USATODAY report on #surgerycenters. ANY death is horrific. But context matters–and makes for stronger #reporting. @ASCAssociation @By_CJewett @markalesia https://t.co/UURkzdtivN — Dr. James Lozada (@DrJLozada) March 2, 2018 Surgery and anesthesia carry with them small but known risks, including death. The thrust of the story was that ASCs are more dangerous than hospitals. However, the data as we currently know it do not support that claim. It’s possible that better reporting of adverse events from ASCs will provide new information. And I fully support the push for more information. Still, contextual reporting is important. — Dr. James Lozada, … [Read more...] about Readers Seek Transparency On Surgery Centers, ‘Bill Of The Month’ Investigations
