Last month, the conscientious Liverpolitanus blog drew attention to the underpublicized report on BPAS Liverpool, which had been released by the NHS' Care Quality Commission on 26th January, 2017.

BPAS Liverpool is of course notorious as one of the main abortion facilities in the north west region of England. Thankfully, a deal of loving pro-life witness was shown there recently by the various priests and lay faithful who joined with 40 Days for Life to pray outside that grim abortion centre. 

As the Liverpolitanus site noted, Britain's NHS (National Health Service) could never be accused of being pro-life. Therefore, it should have captured much wider attention that the Care Quality Commission, the NHS' own watchdog, should have been sufficiently concerned about BPAS Liverpool as to carry out their own inspection of the place. Liverpolitanus should be thanked for carefully drawing attention to this much overlooked report.

The report is available on-line, and can be accessed directly through Liverpolitanus, by clicking the link at our Links Page.

It makes for a sobering read...

Liverpolitanus has highlighted some of the disturbing items which that report contains.

Among these are included:-

The story of delayed treatment for a 16-yr-old suffering from sepsis;

Filled but unlabelled syringes left lying unattended on unsterile surfaces for hours;

Lack of a resuscitation trolley in the recovery room;

Lack of ''robust systems'' in place to check emergency equipment and lax procedures in routine defibrillator checks and awareness of the need to do so;

Uncapped and therefore ''no longer sterile'' syringes left in an anaesthetic room;

Observations in theatre which recorded that ''the surgeon did not wash or clean their hands prior to wearing gloves and gauntlets to perform a surgical procedure.''

Of course, the worst thing about BPAS Liverpool is that the place is a centre for the killing of pre-born babies. However, that wickedness is only multiplied by the various health hazards underlined by the NHS' Care Quality Commission report; of which the above-listed are only a selection.

The Liverpolitanus site concluded its careful report by noting that Auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool, Tom Williams, is the Chair of the Healthcare Reference Group of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.

As such, we add our voice to that of Liverpolitanus in calling on Bishop Williams to please join in the calls for BPAS Liverpool to be shut down. As Liverpolitanus concludes, ''It cannot always be left to the laity to speak out.''

May we further add that, at an annual provincial dinner held at Liverpool's famous Adelphi Hotel on 17th February, Bishop Tom Williams was also installed as a member of honour by the Knights of St. Columba. This installation was celebrated with the presentation to Bishop Williams of a splendidly framed certificate confirming his honorary status.

Given the good work that the Knights of St. Columba so frequently accomplish, it is to be hoped that those Knights who read this site will be able to add their voices to this request for Bishop Williams to join the calls for the closure of BPAS Liverpool; a location wherein so many pre-born babies are destroyed every single day with no-one to defend them.

This tragedy is only exacerbated by the fact that BPAS Liverpool is but 1.2 miles from the offices of the Liverpool Archdiocese at the LACE conference centre.

St. Columba - Pray for us!
