Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Soames of Fletching and Steve Brine

Tuesday 23rd October 2018 Commons Chamber

[Steve Brine]

We will be taking evidence, including from the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment, which is meeting as we speak, to look at the safe upper limit of folate levels. I am particularly keen to get that right, but I am convinced that the evidence shows overwhelmingly that this is something we should be doing.

[Sir Nicholas Soames (Mid Sussex) (Con)]

T7. What is it, precisely, about the NHS’s management and leadership that means it seems to be unable to achieve consistent excellence in its hospitals, such as happens at the Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust? Why is it so hard for lessons learned to be better disseminated?
