Pauline Cafferkey, the Scottish nurse who nearly died twice from Ebola, has called on Public Health England to “recognise their own failings” in a botched Heathrow airport screening process that led to one of her colleagues being suspended for two months. Cafferkey said: “I am very sorry to hear the outcome of Donna Wood’s hearing. Carruthers told the panel he had passed on enough information to those he spoke to get help but he never heard back. He added: “The Ebola outbreak was unprecedented, with many lessons learned across the global healthcare system, including at Public Health England, and we made a number of changes to our processes as the situation developed. We screened thousands of returners from countries most at risk of Ebola and did so with efficiency and courtesy throughout.
