NHS ditches firm in body parts scandal

THE private firm behind the NHS body parts waste scandal has been stripped of its hospital contracts.

Health Minister Stephen Barclay said 15 trusts had ditched Healthcare Environment Services, with the work going to Mitie.

HES “failed to demonstrate they were operating within their contractual limits”, according to NHS Improvement.

The Environment Agency said four facilities were over capacity before Government intervention.

But while the photo is unavailable, seven witnesses there claimed it showed Mishkin with Putin.

The fresh details of the Bellingcat probe came as it emerged its evidence will be used at the International Criminal Court. Mr Grozev confirmed the site had sent a reporter to Loyga.

He added: “They confirmed their homeboy Alexander Mishkin was the person who moved on to military school and then became a famous military doctor, and who received the award of Hero of the Russian Federation personally from President Putin.”

Meanwhile, GRU chief Col-Gen Igor Korobov, 62, was said to have suffered sudden “ill health” after Putin rebuked him over the hitmen’s identities being exposed. Crucial details of their true identities had been left in with their false ones – which led to them being identified by Bellingcat.

A journalist who visited Loyga this week also took a picture of Mishkin’s childhood home surrounded by slush from melted snow. It rubbished the claim by the pair, who said they were tourists, that they left Salisbury early because it had been snowing.
