Petition Hold a Public Inquiry into preventable deaths in hospitals

We believe many deaths in hospital are preventable. We want the Government to hold a Public Inquiry into preventable deaths in hospitals, to investigate why these occur, and how these could be prevented. No one should die unnecessarily in hospital.

More details

Healthcare is the Government’s responsibility. I would like Government to investigate how to ensure that all NHS hospitals acknowledge and learn from the care mistakes made; and how create an NHS where failure is not ignored but is used to maximise patient care.

We think hospitals need to be more closely scrutinized and monitored to prevent any future failures from occurring. A Public Inquiry could identify changes which could help achieve this, which the Government can impose.
