Proceeding contribution from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust.


Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust

May I return to the issue of HSMRs, which the Minister mentioned in his statement? He told us that there is no "clear account of how they should be used and interpreted. The result is confusion for patients and the public". He will know that people in east Lancashire are routinely told that the reconfiguration allegedly saved 200 lives. We know that academics and clinicians are reworking the methodology, but when will we get the results of that study, so that it can be applied across the NHS as a whole?
