[Re: https://www.hifa.org/dgroups-rss/spotlight-patient-safety-and-ncds-41-q1... ]
I note an error in my message yesterday.
I said: "If we accept that poor quality care that leads to death must by definition be unsafe, then the actual deaths due to unsafe care are likely to be at least 5 million rather than 2 million."
This should say: "... at least 5 million rather than 3 million."
Best wishes, Neil
