00:00Because there is absolutely no question, and I'd be the first to admit it, that the NHS has a problem
00:05with basic, everyday sexism and an appalling culture of medical misogyny.
00:13Almost every week I've spent in this job, I have heard profoundly shocking stories from victims and families of some
00:20of the worst NHS scandals.
00:22Women like those in Nottingham, Leeds and Sussex, who I'll be meeting again in Brighton this afternoon, whose babies have
00:31died in our care when they could have lived, and who suffered horrific injuries that went unacknowledged and uncared for.
00:40Women who've been treated appallingly by medical professionals and left in agony, disfigured and traumatised by botched surgery and negligent
00:48care.
