Chief Executive Ifti Majid, who is paid more than £190,000 a year by taxpayers, has totally refused to face scrutiny from members of the media
The boss of scandal-hit Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust, which disastrously failed Valdo Calocane, the man who went on to carry out the Nottingham attacks, has chosen not to answer vital questions about how medics will keep the public safe in the future.
In response to what regulator the Care Quality Commission called a "series of errors, omissions, and misjudgements in his care", trust boss Mr Majid offered his sincere apologies to the families of Calocane's stabbed victims and to those he injured with a van shortly afterwards.
A decade ago Kath Barnard, whose son killed his grandfather while suffering from schizophrenia in 2009, was told the trust would make changes to ensure this did not happen again. Her son disengaged with the mental health team, like Calocane did, and went on to kill after being discharged and not being medicated, like Calocane did. Fifteen years later, the same concerns remain despite the trust's promises.
