Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ALL HOSPITAL surgeons will be required to co-operate with investigations into post-operative deaths, health minister Baroness Jay announced yesterday. Up to now, participation has been voluntary but more than a third of surgeons in some NHS regions do not take part.
The move came as a surprise to Ron Hoile, co-ordinator of the unit responsible for monitoring deaths after surgery. He warned that making participation mandatory could lead some surgeons to lie.
