Twenty-one die after NHS gives 34,000 wrong drugs
Sunday Express
|April 21, 2024
MORE than 34,000 patients were given the wrong medication in NHS hospitals and clinics last year, resulting in 21 deaths.
New figures show that 27 people were seriously harmed by prescription mistakes.
And 5,500 suffered after being given the wrong drug, the wrong dosage or not being supplied with medicine when it was needed.
The statistics were released by the Department of Health and Social Care in a written response to a question from Labour’s Shadow Health Minister Karin Smyth.
NHS Resolution, the body responsible for legal disputes in the health service, spent £39million on settling legal claims where patients had been harmed by medication errors last year.
