PETER DUFFY LOOK BACK ON THE LAST 12 MONTHS


Whistle-blower gives interview to one of my colleagues





Peter Duffy gave an interview to my colleague Tommy Greene in which he looked back at the events of the last year.


He said: “I think it’s shameful that the NHS just fought me all the way through this, trying to silence me and gag me and threaten me.
“Even in the course of the employment tribunal the true facts didn’t come out.
“Under the current system, the tribunal is not so much interested in the whistleblowing - it’s interested in destroying the character of the whistleblower.
“So, had it not been for the book and for Amy Fenton’s work, obviously, all of this would’ve been buried and concealed forever.
“At least there has been a belated realisation that these are serious issues.
“And I think it is good the NHS hasn’t managed to cover this one up. It’s out there now.”
