1. Please could you tell us how many incidents were logged relating to staffing issues in the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (to date). The category on the Datix system for this is, we understand, “staffing/inappropriate skills mix” although this may differ between trusts. Please could you break these down by degree of harm (i.e. No harm, low, moderate, severe, death or similar) as set out in the table below.
2. Please could you tell us how many incidents were logged relating to pressure ulcers (or sores) in the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (to date). It appears a number of Trusts record two different categories of pressure sores – one for community-acquired sores and the other for hospital-acquired. If possible, please could you report these numbers separately. If that is not possible, then please combine both figures and make us aware of this. Please could you again break the data down by degree of harm (i.e. No harm, low, moderate, severe, death or similar).
Some Trusts record different grades of pressure ulcer. In this case please could you combine those into one overall figure.
