Thromboembolism
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of staffing levels on the timeliness of venous thromboembolism (a) assessment and (b) prevention.
Answered by Karin Smyth
No assessment has been made.
The responsibility for staffing levels sits with providers of National Health Services at a local level, working with their commissioners, responding to local needs, supported by guidelines by national and professional bodies and overseen and regulated in England by the Care Quality Commission.
