I'm an NHS leader - but mum still suffered at hands of health service because she was black

Lord Adebowale, a senior NHS leader, criticizes the health service after his mother, Grace, received substandard care and a missed cancer diagnosis, leading to her undignified death at 92. Adebowale highlights racial inequalities in healthcare, emphasizing the need to address issues faced by black and minority ethnic patients. His mother, a former nurse who emigrated from Nigeria, believed in the NHS but experienced deficiencies in care when she needed it most. Adebowale's story underscores the need to tackle disparities in healthcare services as part of an upcoming 10-year health plan.
