Recommendation 36
36
Devise a systematic way to record and annually publish serious harms and deaths
Recommendation
We recommend the Department work with its Chief Medical Advisor, DWP’s Caldicott Guardian, and coroners to devise a way to record more systematically all cases of serious harms and deaths where the individual affected was in receipt of working-age benefits. The Department should then commit to publishing this information annually to aid transparency. (Recommendation, Paragraph 152)
