Abstract

In the wake of the Bristol disater the Government proposes to make Chief Executives of NHS Trusts accountable to Parliament for the quality of decisions made by doctors, nurses and other health professionals through the process of clinical governance. However, the precise nature and meaning of clinical governance not only failed to define it but placed it alongside professional self-regulation without specifying how and in what ways the two processes were linked.
