answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>Improving risk management and safety planning for suicide and self-harm prevention is a priority in the Government’s suicide prevention strategy. The strategy highlights the importance of compliance with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) guidelines on risk assessment. NHS England is taking forward work in this area.</p><p>We would expect health professionals to have regard to guidelines from the NICE, which state that risk assessment tools should not be used to predict future suicide or repetition of self-harm.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 24/05/2024 08:26:14 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

uin	16354
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2024 answer text <p>Any unexpected or unintended incident which could have or did lead to harm to one or more patients can be recorded on the Learn from Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service, to support local and national learning. This can include surgical fires or burns. We are informed that NHS England does not define the severity of harm related to surgical fires or burns specifically. Grading the severity of harm related to a patient safety incident that is recorded on LFPSE, should be done using NHS England’s guidance on recording patient safety events and levels of harm, which asks that near miss events be graded as no harm. The guidance is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/policy-guidance-on-recording-patient-safety-events-and-levels-of-harm/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/policy-guidance-on-recording-patient-safety-events-and-levels-of-harm/</a></p><p> </p><p>If a surgical fire or burn is assessed locally and constitutes a patient safety event, it would fall under the scope of the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) Regulations 16 or 18, and must be reported to the CQC. This means that the most serious surgical fires or burns which result in serious harm or the death of a service user, are subject to mandatory reporting. NHS trusts can comply with this requirement by recording patient safety events using the LFPSE service, and NHS England shares all such data with the CQC, who are responsible for regulating compliance with CQC regulations. CQC Regulations 16 and 18 are available respectively, at the following links:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.cqc.org.uk/guidance-providers/regulations/regulation-16-notification-death-service-user" target="_blank">https://www.cqc.org.uk/guidance-providers/regulations/regulation-16-notification-death-service-user</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.cqc.org.uk/guidance-providers/regulations-enforcement/regulation-18-notification-other-incidents" target="_blank">https://www.cqc.org.uk/guidance-providers/regulations-enforcement/regulation-18-notification-other-incidents</a></p><p> </p><p>Although the recording of wider patient safety events onto LFPSE is a voluntary process, providers are encouraged to record all patient safety incidents, irrespective of the level of harm, to support local and national learning.</p><p> </p><p>The LFPSE service and its predecessor, the National Reporting and Learning System, do not have specific categories for surgical fires or burns. Determining how many patient safety events related to surgical fires or burns were recorded by National Health Service providers in each of the last five years would require a search of the free text of recorded patient safety events, using key words, and a subsequent expert clinical review of all potential records to determine relevance to the question. This could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield grouped question UIN 16353 16355 question first answered 08/03/2024 14:06:43 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2023 answer text <p>Any unexpected or unintended incident which could have or did lead to harm to one or more patients can be recorded on the Learn from Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service, to support local and national learning. This would include incidents caused by surgical fires or burns.</p><p>Providers are encouraged to foster a positive safety culture among their staff, and ensure an appropriate local focus on incident recognition, recording, and response.</p><p>Recording onto LFPSE is a voluntary process, except where reporting to NHS England fulfils duties for other statutory mandatory requirements, such as reporting notifiable incidents to the Care Quality Commission (CQC). NHS England shares all such data with the CQC. Notifiable incidents include events resulting in “serious harm” or the death of a service user, and therefore the most serious surgical fires or burns are subject to mandatory reporting. However, providers are encouraged to record all patient safety incidents, irrespective of the level of harm, to support local and national learning.</p><p>Published National Safety Standards for Invasive Procedures include a requirement for a risk assessment and management plan to minimise the risk of surgical fires in the perioperative environment. They require that multidisciplinary team training should involve rehearsal and analysis of typical and emergency scenarios, such as a surgical fire, and that prior to surgery, any fire risk and the management plan are discussed and confirmed.</p><p>LFPSE is not designed for performance management. However, it supports certain oversight functions within providers, including the ability to review all records submitted by staff, and to mark them as either meeting certain other requirements, such as notification to the CQC, or not. This supports good governance within the provider, encouraging scrutiny of recorded events, and the fulfilment of other statutory or national policy reporting requirements. LFPSE data is being made available to integrated care boards and regional teams to facilitate their roles in safety oversight and provider improvement support.</p><p>NHS England does not hold or collect information on the number of surgical fires which occur. Although incidents where serious harm and death are captured within LFPSE, and trusts may choose to record lower levels of harm, there is no category for surgical fires within the existing reporting system with which they could be counted and therefore any count would not be definitive.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield grouped question UIN 804 806 807 808 question first answered 15/11/2023 17:25:08 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
