<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
2008 – 09<br />
Internal & External Audit<br />
In partnership with the Internal Audit Consortium (Bentley Jennison), a thematic review<br />
was undertaken on the risk maturity of <strong>NHS</strong> <strong>Lanarkshire</strong> risk system, as part of a wider<br />
benchmarking exercise across a large number of clients. The interim report will be<br />
presented to the Audit Committee in June <strong>2009</strong> and an improvement plan will be<br />
agreed if required. The final benchmark report is expected in September <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
Incident <strong>Report</strong>s<br />
This is the third year that <strong>NHS</strong> <strong>Lanarkshire</strong> has had a global view of all incidents and/<br />
or accidents reported with quarterly trends. The report does not include data from<br />
South CHP: Cambuslang/Rutherglen Locality, or North CHP: North Locality (northern<br />
corridor), as this is still held by Greater Glasgow Health Board area. However, this data<br />
will be collated within the year <strong>2009</strong> – 10, effective from 1 st April <strong>2009</strong> as the operational<br />
management of this Locality transfers to <strong>NHS</strong>L. Preparatory work has been undertaken<br />
and agreed with the General Managers, Health & Safety, Locality <strong>Management</strong> Teams<br />
and <strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Management</strong> to facilitate this.<br />
As at 31 st March <strong>2009</strong>, there was 13,965 incidents/accidents recorded within the<br />
DATIX system for the period 1 st April 2008 – 31 st March <strong>2009</strong>. Additionally, there are<br />
approximately 800 maternity clinical incidents held locally (awaiting specific DATIX<br />
module).<br />
There has been no real change in the distribution of incidents. The data for this year<br />
demonstrates that 75% are attributable to non–clinical incidents and 24% attributable<br />
to clinical incidents, including near–miss reports, as compared to 70% and 30%<br />
respectively for year 2006 – 07 and 76% and 24% for the year 2007 – 08.<br />
