Panel Debate
“Ensuring quality of care”
Rising demand and falling revenues are putting unprecedented pressure on quality and safety in the NHS. Following the announcement that publication of the final report of the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Inquiry has been delayed until January 2013, there is concern in some quarters that the NHS is risking another such scandal. This high-level panel will embrace the timely opportunity to discuss how the health service can ensure quality of care, considering the role of regulation and the importance of treating patients with dignity and respect.
