[Year] June 2002 [Description] A pilot study into NHS medical errors was so dogged by computer problems and poor incident logging that its findings are unreliable, the government's chief medical officer, Professor Sir Liam Donaldson, admitted today. Overall, the report from the national patient safety agency (NPSA), suggests there could be around 970,000 errors made each year within the NHS, but just 1% of the 27,110 incidents recorded were classed as major or catastrophic. The NPSA and Sir Liam were today forced to concede that there were problems with the quality of the data. Sir Liam said there were snags with "data capture, data transfer and data transmission". He said computers in primary care centres and in mental health services did not integrate well with the NPSA system. [References] Guardian June 18, 2002 [Name]
