  • Descrição: NHS England did not disclose the full extent of a serious administrative failure that saw hundreds of thousands of items of medical correspondence lost and put patients at risk, a damning report by MPs has concluded. 1 The report by the Public Accounts Committee said that the NHS wasted nearly £2.5m reviewing the mishandling and that NHS England had not communicated effectively with general practices about how they should handle misdirected clinical correspondence.The problems surfaced in March 2016 when NHS Shared Business Services, an agency co-owned by the Department of Health and the IT company Sopra Steria, revealed that 709000 items of medical correspondence including test results and child protection notes had been lost. 2 Last November the committee reported 3 from an evidence session in which NHS England officials admitted that a further 162000 patient files had gone missing over five years. 4 But, in its latest report, the committee notes that NHS England had actually identified a total of 277000 items of mishandled clinical correspondence by July 2017 and nearly 374000 items by November 2017.An NHS England spokesperson said, "In March 2016 NHS England established a team to review a backlog of clinical correspondence, reported at that time, by the SBS [Shared Business Services] company.
