Victim of rogue surgeon Ian Paterson: "He's never given any reason or apology"

An independent inquiry into how rogue breast surgeon Ian Paterson was able to go on performing unnecessary operations for years has uncovered a "dysfunctional" healthcare system that failed patients. The Paterson Inquiry, launched in May 2018, published 15 recommendations on Tuesday after hearing 177 first-hand accounts from the surgeon's former patients. Among the recommendations it urged the NHS trust that employed Paterson and private health firm Spire Healthcare to check that all of more than 11,000 patients he treated had been recalled. The Government should introduce reforms, including regulation of insurance protection for patients as a "nationwide safety net", the report said. It also called for the creation of an "accessible and intelligible" single repository of consultants' key performance data, as a one-stop shop for patients. One of his victims, Tracey Smith, tells her story to Julia Hartley-Brewer.
