MPs are set to summon the current chief executive and chairman of National Health Service (NHS) watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to debate an alleged cover-up of a report into baby deaths at a hospital in Cumbria in 2008.
An independent report published on June 20 into the actions of the CQC, which was supposed to investigate the deaths at medical facilities controlled by the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust, criticised several senior CQC officials.
This report claimed former deputy chief executive Jill Finney ordered staff to destroy a 2011 internal CQC review into how deaths went unnoticed, because it was too critical.
