Patients' Rights: Health Education
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to help increase public awareness of Martha's Rule.
- Answer
-
NHS England has undertaken extensive work to develop, test, and rollout communication products in relation to Martha’s Rule. This includes public communication materials for hospitals that have implemented Martha’s Rule to ensure inpatients, and their families and carers, are aware of and informed about this important patient safety initiative.
NHS England is considering plans for a wider communications campaign once Martha’s Rule is fully implemented in all relevant settings, later in 2026/27. This will take account of feedback in relation to the communication materials produced so far.
