The fourth action is to undertake an annual audit of compliance against the standards set within the policy. This is due to be in place in September 2017 and will end in April 2018 In relation to issue 2, namely the report being incomplete because there was no input from the worker at New Road, a number of actions have been put in place_ In this particular instance , the incomplete reports were due to lack of input from both Substance Misuse Services and Adult Mental Health in relation to Serious Incident Requiring Investigation reports_ In order to avoid this from happening again an action has been put in place to review the current Serious Incident Requiring Investigation policies for Southern Health Foundation Trust and Solent NHS to ensure the explicit requirement of Serious Incident requiring investigation investigators to engage with all stakeholderslservices who werelare involved in persons' care, and offer them input into the investigation process_ This action was in place on the 3rd of April 2017 and is due to end on the 1st of May 2017 .
