Dear Dr Julian

 

Thank you for your email dated 16 April 2019.

 

I can confirm that the deaths were not reported as incidents on the
Strategic Executive Information System (STEIS) as there were no patient
safety concerns raised and therefore this reporting was not required.  As
stated in our response, all patients were however subject to an initial
review and reported for a full LeDeR review with the Clinical
Commissioning Group.

 

Kind regards
