    Hypocrisy by the Cabinet who would not publish the`` Risk Register``..............

    Courtesy Guardian...........

    NHS surgeons opting out of performance tables to be named

    Health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, says doctors have no valid reason not to disclose patient death rates

    The doctors' performance tables are aimed at creating a more transparent NHS.

    Doctors who decide not to disclose details of their performance will be named by the government, it has

    emerged.

    The health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said there was no valid reason why consultants should not make

    their figures available.

    It is understood Hunt has asked officials to draw up plans to publish the patient death rates of NHS

    doctors as early as next month and, subject to legal requirements, he wants every consultant to be

    obliged to disclose the details. Those who refuse will be named.

    Hunt said: "Subject to proper risk adjustment of the data there can be no valid reason why it should

    not be published - and the majority of consultants strongly support the case for doing so.
