The record
Each entry is one inquiry, investigation, policy review or national strategy. Open a review for the findings, the paraphrased recommendations, and the other reviews that share its themes.
Brett Lockhart KC
Statutory inquiry into neurology services in Belfast after the largest patient recall in Northern Ireland, concerning the practice of Dr Michael Watt. It examined complaints, governance and candour.
Rt Revd Graham James
Inquiry into how surgeon Ian Paterson was able to perform inappropriate and unnecessary breast surgery in the NHS and the private sector for years. It found that colleagues, managers and insurers did not stop him, and that patients were not recalled properly.
Kate Lampard and Ed Marsden
Overview of the NHS investigations into access Jimmy Savile had to hospitals. It drew out common weaknesses in safeguarding, celebrity culture, volunteering, complaints and how unusual behaviour was excused.
Rt Hon Ann Clwyd MP and Professor Tricia Hart
Review of how hospitals handle complaints, commissioned alongside the Francis response. It heard from patients who found the process exhausting, defensive and detached from learning.
Sir Robert Francis KC
Statutory public inquiry into the suffering of patients at Stafford Hospital. It described a culture that put the organisation's reputation and national targets ahead of patients, and a regulatory system that did not stop it. The inquiry made 290 recommendations.
Sir Bruce Keogh
Rapid review of 14 trusts identified from mortality data after Francis. Expert teams looked at leadership, safety, staffing and how each trust used data.
