Unmasking Medicine
Six talks by Ian Kennedy , Reader in Law and Executive Director of the Centre of Law, Medicine and Ethics at King's College, London. 3: Suffer the Little Children
'We must make it clear that we are not content to watch our health care services merely tick over at their present level, far less, slowly disintegrate. There can be, and must be, improvement and it is our responsibility to ensure it happens.'
IAN KENNEDY proposes we redirect our energies towards promoting better health with special emphasis on child health. 'What is called for, is the realisation that the state of our children's health, and consequently their and our future, is a product of the whole style of our society. If anything is to be done, then some fairly profound political action is called for.' (Rptd: Sun on Radio 3)
