Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Warner (Labour) on Wednesday, 12 July 2006.

Mental Health: Patient Safety

Question: When they expect to publish the National Learning and Reporting System’s report on women in National Health Service mental health units.

Answer: My Lords, we take seriously concerns raised by a National Patient Safety Agency analysis of individual reports on patient safety in mental health services. We have concerns about some information on sexual allegations and are working with the NPSA to establish the accuracy of the most serious allegations. Professor Louis Appleby is leading a review of these reports, which we shall act on. We had already intended to publish the NPSA report on completion of this review. However, as inaccurate accounts have been made public, we shall publish the latest version shortly.
