The number of hospital patients killed by mistakes has risen by 60 per cent in two years, official figures show.

Deaths caused by hospital mistakes 'up 60 per cent in two years'
article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"NHS records show that 3,645 people died as a result of "patient safety incidents" - including botched operations and the outbreak of infections - between April 2007 and March 2008. The figure was 1,370 higher than two years earlier.

Patient groups have warned that the true toll is likely to be higher because some hospitals do not record all incidents."

Let's have a guess what, if anything, was done about these avoidable deaths...

Anyone sacked? - Anyone sent to prison for manslaughter? - Anyone at all?
