DNACPR Decisions: Vulnerable Adults
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NHS England audits the use of DNR notices in cases involving vulnerable adults.
Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
NHS England does not audit the use of Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) decisions in cases involving vulnerable adults. However, the Learning from Lives and Deaths Review (LeDeR) includes questions on the quality and content of DNACPR records. The review supports local service improvement and has been running for several years.
