When I was asked to deliver the Hughes report it wasn’t a question of whether compensation should be given, it was a question of how it would be given to patients harmed by pelvic mess and sodium valproate. We need urgent government action now to address this injustice. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"My message to Government a year ago was 'Get on with it!" My message today is - 'Seriously?!" England's Patient Safety Commissioner @pscommissioner.bsky.social tells me it's "disgraceful" that the Govt has yet to respond to a two year old report, urging compensation for medical scandal victims:

🆕 REPORT. There are no overarching principles that providers and ICBs can use which enable a consistent approach to safety management. This creates a difference in understanding between organisations, including accountability for #PatientSafety within organisations. Read the report: buff.ly/42NpcRt
