A Coordination Theory of NHS Whistleblowing Failure

Abstract

Persistent whistleblowing failure in hierarchical healthcare organisations is typically attributed to insufficient legal protection for reporters or inadequate managerial incentives to investigate. This diagnosis is argued to be structurally incomplete. A repeated three-player game among a whistleblower, Trust management, and a colleague group is solved via global games techniques to obtain a unique equilibrium, identifying three mechanisms existing policy neither recognises nor addresses.
