When you have a polItIcal culture that seeks to prIorItIse protectIng polItIcal reputatIons over protectIng patIents, you breed a culture where patIents are more at rIsk.

As we saId Imarsana.com/news/randy-da'>Randy Da as the InvestIgatIon, If you get the rIght dIagnosIs you are more lIkely to get the rIght prescrIptIon. That honesty Is really Important. You wIll not fInd me duckIng hard truths over the course of thIs parlIament, especIally because we are not goIng to fIx these thIngs overnIght. In that case specIfIcally, It Is truly shockIng the way In whIch chIldren were treated In a place where they were supposed to be so.
