History

Historical Context

In 1999 the Bristol Royal Infirmary Inquiry, sparked by Stephen Bolsin’s 1989 whistle-blowing on pediatric heart surgery, revealed a 30% mortality rate that later fell to under 5% after the Kennedy Report reforms. The inquiry helped embed clinical-governance across the NHS, influencing later mental-health reforms and today’s push for coordinated care after the 2023 Barnaby Webber death.
