Serious incident investigations should be closed by the relevant commissioner when they are satisfied that the investigation report and action plan meet the required standard. Providers and commissioners are expected to establish mechanisms for monitoring on-going or long-term actions to ensure they are fully implemented.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 23/03/2015 17:53:29 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter

Although there are two never event categories which are directly relevant to mental health (<em>13.</em> <em>Suicide using non-collapsible rails</em> and <em>14.</em> <em>Escape of a transferred prisoner</em>) never event reports are not classified by care setting.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 23/03/2015 17:54:24 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
