Patient Safety: Motion
8:00 am
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Independent)
It is recognised internationally where research has been carried out - we have had no such research here but there is no reason to believe we are any different - that approximately 10% of hospital experiences are an adverse experience - that the patient has an adverse experience. Thankfully, these are not fatal experiences, although perhaps 1% of them are.
