PFD Monitor interpretation

Lack of strategic direction to investigations and learning

Wider context from the report

“The Health Board undertook an investigation following Ben’s death. The investigation contains an Action Plan arising as a result of the learning. It has taken the Health Board a considerable amount of time to update and provide the Action Plan, the most recent version still containing outstanding actions and yet Ben died over 2 years ago. It is particularly concerning that learning and actions arising therefrom are not more quickly addressed. If the learning, actions and changes are taking so long then there is a risk that deaths will continue in the interim. Overall, there is an evident lack of overall strategic direction to investigations and learning. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

No recurring-concern membership is currently published.
