Research may have been commissioned at a local level; however, this data is not collected centrally.</p><br /><p>The Care Act 2014, which placed adult safeguarding on a statutory footing for the first time, made clear the responsibilities of agencies in relation to adult safeguarding with a greater focus on the prevention of abuse and neglect.</p><br /><p>The Department is clear in statutory guidance supporting the Care Act that workers across a wide range of organisations, and not just those in frontline health and social care roles, need to be vigilant on behalf of those unable to protect themselves.</p><br /><p>Commissioners and providers will have clear policies and procedures that set out the roles of nurses and all other staff in relation to safeguarding and the training and support that is required in order for them to fulfil those roles.</p><br /><p>The Department and NHS England’s Compassion in Practice nursing strategy was published in December 2012 and is based around six core values: Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage, and Commitment. The vision aims to embed these values, known as the 6C’s, in all nursing, midwifery and care-giving settings throughout the NHS and social care to improve care for patients.

tabling member constituency	Copeland
tabling member printed	Mr Jamie Reed
uin	215718
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>Patient experience surveys are a valuable source of evidence and the results are used in a range of ways, including the assessment of National Health Service performance as well as in regulatory activities such as registration, monitoring ongoing compliance and reviews. The Care Quality Commission has developed a new Intelligent Monitoring tool to give inspectors a clear picture of the areas of care that need to be followed up within an NHS acute trust or a specialist NHS trust. The system is built on a set of indicators that look at a range of information including patient experience, staff experience and performance.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition to the patient experience surveys hospital boards and other providers and commissioners of services can also consider the results of the Friends and Family Test (FFT) to consider the implications for quality and safety. While not a traditional survey, the FFT provides near real-time feedback to identify both good and poor quality patient experience. A NHS England review of the FFT found that it is performing well as a service improvement tool, with 85% of trusts reporting that it is being used to improve patient experience, and 78% saying that FFT has increased the emphasis placed on patient experience in their trusts.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 27/11/2014 17:09:16 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman

uin	213780
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2014 answer text <p>We do not hold information on the number of patient safety incidents that have occurred in England in each year since 2000. Patient Safety Incidents occurring in the National Health Service are reported to the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) whose primary purpose is to enable learning from patient safety incidents. The NRLS was established in late 2003 as a largely voluntary scheme for reporting patient safety incidents, and therefore it does not provide the definitive number of patient safety incidents occurring in the NHS. However, from 1 April 2010 it became mandatory for all providers registered with the Care Quality Commission (including all NHS trusts and foundation trusts) in England to report all serious patient safety incidents to the Care Quality Commission. To avoid duplication of reporting, providers of NHS services are encouraged to report all incidents resulting in death or severe harm to the NRLS which then reports them to the Care Quality Commission.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>At present, more than 100,000 patient safety incidents (including those resulting in no harm) are reported to the NRLS each month. However, these data are collated on a quarterly, rather than monthly basis. Detailed breakdowns on incidents reported are published twice-yearly and can be accessed via the following link:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.nrls.npsa.nhs.uk/resources/collections/quarterly-data-summaries/" target="_blank">http://www.nrls.npsa.nhs.uk/resources/collections/quarterly-data-summaries/</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The most recent spreadsheet providing quarterly data for the number of patient safety incidents reported to the NRLS from October 2003 to June 2014 is attached.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The NRLS is a dynamic reporting system, and the number of incidents recorded as occurring at any point in time may increase as a greater proportion of incidents are reported. Experience in other industries has shown that as an organisation’s reporting culture matures, staff become more likely to report incidents.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter grouped question UIN 213775 question first answered 18/11/2014 16:22:48 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter attachment 1 file name NRLS Quarterly Data Workbook- Patient Safety Incidents.xls title Patient Safety Incidents- October 2003- June 2014
