May I begin with offering my sincerest condolences to Mr Daft’s family for their loss. I am deeply sorry for the missed opportunities and issues that were highlighted during the Inquest. The concerns you have raised have been taken extremely seriously. Please find attached a commentary in response to the Prevention of Future Deaths Report issued to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust following the inquest into the death of Mr Daft. My response to the concerns identified in the PFD report have been informed following work undertaken by colleagues within the Patient Safety Teams, Surgical and Cancer and Associated Specialties (CAS) Divisions and the Cancer Centre Team.
The actions either taken or planned in response to the learning from the inquest are summarised below. The oversight of the delivery of these actions will be through our Quality and Safety Governance Committees, with Executive oversight - Committees of our Board will receive a progress report. I hope that this commentary provides assurance that we are committed to learning from this, and other incidents to significantly enhance the care of patients across the Trust.
