Week of 24 March 2026
The biggest update since the site launched. 9 new articles. 46 files changed. Campaign demands expanded.
New Investigations
- Wales Deserves World-Class Leadership — England hired a Credit Suisse technologist. Wales promoted an administrator. Research from Harvard, Stanford, and a meta-analysis of 13,578 CEO successions explains why insiders cannot fix what they built.
- Six FOI Requests. One Identical Refusal. — We asked DHCW how it spends public money. It refused every request. The refusal letter is published in full.
- No Plan B — The failing organisation that controls every hospital, GP surgery, and cancer unit in Wales.
- Nine Programmes, Zero Results — Updated programme failure analysis with latest data.
- Your GP Referral — Every referral in Wales depends on 8-year-old unsupported technology.
- Speaking Up Safely — 91.3% say they feel safe. The national data says otherwise.
- The Accountability Gap — Governance frameworks exist. Consequences do not.
- Blocked — DHCW blocked this website from NHS Wales networks.
- Migrated Back — They migrated every GP system in Wales. Then migrated them all back.
