I cannot understand the period of seven days. In the practical sense, I have this vision of a hospital situation where nobody dies but errors are made over a day, and then it is day six, and that one had better sit down at one's desk and fill in all one's errors. Then, a bundle of error pages gets handed to the next person, who puts them into the computer. I see that as a list that is not going to be actioned and, within that time period, another incident could happen. If a doctor makes a mistake on day one and makes the same mistake again on day five, how do we look at that family and say, "We said seven days", when, if we had said four days, the person would be alive? I do not understand the seven days and think it is inefficient.
