Learning from deaths
Dear Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust,
I would like to make the following Freedom of Information request:
As described on page 6 of the National Quality Board's National Guidance on Learning from Deaths, Trusts are required to collect specified information on deaths: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/up...
Please may I receive the following data described in that guidance, on a monthly basis from the beginning of 2018 to the most recent month available:
- The total number of in-patient deaths (including emergency department deaths)
- The number of deaths subject to case record review
- Of these deaths subjected to review, the number that were judged more likely than not to have been due to problems in care
If data is not available at the beginning of 2018, please supply data from the earliest point after when data was collected.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Clark
