The report by an expert panel was commissioned following the Lucy Letby case.
The Government has failed to implement a number of recommendations from significant inquiries into major patient safety issues, years after they were agreed to, according to an independent panel
These covered three broad policy areas – maternity safety and leadership, training of staff in health and social care, and culture of safety and whistleblowing – and were used to evaluate progress. “Progress is imminent in several areas, which is reassuring, but we remain concerned about the time it has taken for real action to be taken,” it added.
“We are concerned about delays to take real action to implement them and rate overall progress by the Government on this serious matter as requiring improvement.” Mr Brine added: “Investigations into major failures in the NHS, like the Thirlwall Inquiry into Letby, are vital but it’s equally important to hold the Government and leaders of organisations responsible for actually implementing the recommendations that are made to improve patient safety.
