	uin	126603
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2023 answer text <p>The National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) provides a national database of reported patient safety incidents for the National Health Service in England. This data is published as official statistics alongside commentary. Within NRLS data, it is not possible to determine easily if the reported incidents took place during medical procedures and surgery that can be considered ‘routine’. The most recent publication for 2021/22 was published in October 2022 and available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/patient-safety/national-patient-safety-incident-reports/national-patient-safety-incident-reports-13-october-2022/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/patient-safety/national-patient-safety-incident-reports/national-patient-safety-incident-reports-13-october-2022/</a></p><p>The total number of patient safety incidents reported was 2,345,815. Most incidents are reported as causing no harm, 70.6% or low harm, 26.0%. Fewer than 4% of incidents reported caused higher degrees of harm, of which 0.5% were categorised as severe harm or death. NHS England reviews information in these two categories to characterise new, emerging and under-recognised risks and determine how they might be addressed.</p><p>The Learn from Patient Safety Events service will this year fully replace the NRLS. It will change the way information is collected to make it easier for providers to record and learn from patient safety incidents.</p><p>The Government continues to pursue higher patient safety standards and a transparent, learning culture in order to support the NHS to achieve continuous improvement in safety and to reduce harmful events happening in the first place.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 24/01/2023 14:34:19 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
