Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to create an independent healthcare safety investigations body in the NHS.
In June 2017, the Queen’s Speech confirmed that the Government would publish a Bill in draft that will legislate for a new independent health service safety investigations body. We intend to publish the Bill in draft shortly and anticipate this would be followed by a process of pre-legislative scrutiny.
