Criminal behavior, including robbery and illegal drugs, was not questioned in the largest hospital in Wales, according to a report.
A “fear atmosphere” in the surgical department of the University Hospital in Cardiff meant that the staff were afraid to raise concerns.
The Cardiff report and the Vale Health Board also found that anesthesia practitioners were not always in the theater for the entire operation, but were in the anesthesia room on their phones or watching Netflix.
The Health Board said it would consider the recommended findings and actions and service implications.
