The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many instances of patient neglect by NHS employees have been reported in (a) England and (b) Romford constituency in every year since 2010.
Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
Providers of National Health Services are responsible for collating organisational safeguarding data. Local authorities will hold data on referrals made on adult safeguarding to them by NHS or independent health services.
At a national level, annual data on safeguarding adult referrals, including data on neglect and the location of risk, based on local authority area is published and available at the following link:
