Motion TitlePatient Safety Commissioner

Motion TextThat this Assembly notes with concern the serious issues and clear patient harm evident in reports such as the Serious Adverse Incident Review and the Independent Neurology Inquiry; further notes that reports elsewhere in the UK, such as the First Do No Harm Report, have found serious gaps and lessons to be learned in our systemic approach to patient safety across the UK; and calls on the Minister of Health to proceed without delay to establish a fully independent Patient Safety Commissioner, sitting outside the Department, to act as a champion for patients and to provide recommendations on how to put patients first as part of the transformation of Health and Social Care.
