Patient Safety Commissioner

Debate between Lord McFall of Alcluith and Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen

Thursday 2nd December 2021 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen (Con)]

It is upsetting to hear of these deaths, and we offer our deepest sympathy, obviously, to the children and families. Our priority remains improving the future safety of all medicines and devices. This means we will continue to focus our work on direct support for future safety, and on improving how the system listens to patients and supports and monitors safety and clinical practice in respect of medicines and devices. This is very much what the patient safety commissioner will be concentrating on.

[The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)]

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen (Con)]

I have to say to my noble friend that I have not read the report, but I certainly will—it is going to be my weekend reading. We welcome the report from the Lords Public Services Committee. We are reviewing its recommendations and will respond in due course. Our work and investment towards introducing family hubs that work with children and families from birth to adulthood is so important in the field of vulnerable children and young people.
