“Never events” and the NHS

The rising number of ‘never events’

The past few years have proven tough for the NHS, but the health service has remained in place, doing the best it can to care for and support the country. Yet with hundreds of ‘never events’ being reported between April 2021 and March 2022 more needs to be done to prevent them.

Between April 2021 and March 2022, 407 of these reported events occurred across England, meeting the definition of a ‘Never Event’. Over this time period, this figure means that there was an average of more than one of these events each day.

The annual rate of ‘never events’ had been gradually decreasing in recent years, rising again in 2018-19 to 496 before dropping to 364 in 2020-21. Unfortunately, the past year has seen figures rise once more.

Anexo plc (LON:ANX) is a specialist integrated credit hire and legal services group focused on providing replacement vehicles to consumers who have been involved in a non-fault accident. ‘Been Let Down’ is a trading name of Bond Turner, part of the Anexo Group.
