Criticism
The hospital has been criticized for not offering treatments available in the United States.
There have been allegations that a surgeon at the hospital removed brain tissue for research purposes without the patient's consent. The samples were used to test a new treatment for brain diseases on which the surgeon was joint owner of the patent.
In 2006, the hospital was identified as "the most dangerous hospital in Merseyside and Cheshire for health workers".

Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
