Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in Health and Social Care

Judiciary to Health Care: Judiciary are the legal bodies of the nation which helps to maintain the rules and
regulation of the country. They are the one who take the responsibility to check whether individual are working as per the
requirement of law or not and if they find anyone who is working against the law then they have the authority to take the legal
action at any period of time (Kramer, Kind and Mishkind, 2015). It has been commenced for the safeguarding the interests and
providing the fundamental rights of people. The bodies of Judiciary Are Supreme Court, High Court and many other small form
of courts. Its major role is to keep the eye on the violation of work which has been done by any individual. In context of the
given case, it can be understood that Judiciary should had taken the responsibility to find the facts that what were the main
consequences of the accident that 2500 people had to lose their life. The role of Judiciary in this case was to find the accurate
result that why NHS didn't follow the rules and regulation as it was the main reason behind the death of this many people.
From the above paragraph, it can be understood that there are many bodies at present who are working for the
betterment of society and nation but still there are lots of problem which need to be solved within the specific period of time
(Rock and Doweling, 2015). Here, role of Legislation, Executives and Judiciary are different but it can be understood that they
all are interrelated with each other. Where one need to form the law and while talking about the second one it is important
because it helps to execute the law and tells that how those can be followed and while discussion about the third one it tells that
its main duty is to focus on the work and policies that what are the main reason that people didn't followed the rules and what
can be the best punishment in this case as it is necessary to given the punishment because it will help to reduce the percentage of
crime or carelessness in future and even it tells that how it can be reduced. Their main role is to find that if laws are not being
followed then what can be the main reason behind in and what are the possible changes required in this. Judiciary plays the
most important role because it helps to find the main reason behind increasing the percentage of crime. After knowing, it need
to prepare the report which must be forwarded to executive level where they need to analyse it into the detail. Here, executive
level try checks the report that whether problem was from their point or not because it is not necessary the commenced law can
be understood by anyone very easily. But, if it required to be changed then they need to send it to Legislation where they need
to verify the each and every step of related law and how changes can be done in future (Tomkins and et. al., 2015). It is very
important that laws must be updated on regular interval because if it doesn't happen then problem can arise at any period of
time. So from, this can be understood that different bodies have different role which are required to be performed on specific
period of time as it is found that there are lots of ways through which life of common people are affected as it can be seen in the
above case also as one of the best example which can be seen in recent period of time.
Given Scenario: The given case is related with the failure of Mid-Staffordshire NHS Trust who failed to
provide the standard of health care to every patient due to which 2,500 patient died from year 2005-2008. At the time
of inquiry, it was found that health of patient was compromised in many of the case and that was the main reason
behind the death of patient.
Legislation to Health Care: Legislation is defined as the rules and regulation which have been enforce by
the House of Parliament. It plays the vital role and everyone life as it guides that how any particular work need to be
done within specific period of time. Here, power to commence any law in UK for health care is of Parliament. When it
comes of the legislation of health care it is very important because it tells that how health of patient should be
maintained and what are the special treatment that should be given to any patient. Some of the laws which had been
enforced by House of Parliament Are National Health Service Act 1977, National Health Service and Community Care
Act 1990, National Health Service Act 2006 (Minear and et. al., 2015). The role of these act is just to tell that what is
the importance of health care to the patient and what can be done to cure the level of health of patient. The government
of UK try to find the problem at the beginning so that appropriate laws can be formed and for that they try to take the
help of all those people who have the good and sensible knowledge in the field of Health care. From the given case a
study it can be understood that there was a negligence of the act and it can be easily said that it was the main reason
behind the dead of the patient in the above case. It is very important that the level of health should be maintained
properly of each and every patient but due to some of the carelessness, 2500 patient need to lose their life. Because of
this reason the the new law was commenced in 2010 as National Health Service Act 2010, where proper changes had
been done so that life of patient can be saved. It was necessary to come up with some of the modification as there were
very few rules and regulation which has been commenced and this was the main reason behind the carelessness. The
legislation had amended some of the law where it has been mentioned that if any of the negligence is found for the
health of patient then strict action can be taken from the authorised authority.
Executive to Health Care: Executive are the one who need to take the responsibility of any particular work. When it
comes to healthcare, the person at executive level plays the crucial role as they need execute the plans which have been
commenced by legislation (Bywater’s and et. al., 2015). They are the one who should try to know that whether laws are
being followed or not and if it is not being followed then they should try to find the actual reason behind it. They are
the one who know each and every thing regarding law they have the major role to play where they guide that how laws
and policies can be effective which were passed through the process of legislation. In the above given scenario it can be
understood that the reason behind the death of 2500 patient was because of the carelessness of executives. They are the
one who should have taken the responsibility to solve the issue at the beginning but they didn't to do anything from
their point of view and in the reason many people lost their life
