PERFORMANCE: Wirral GP Commissioning Consortium has put in place arrangements for monitoring the trust’s response to a serious untoward incident in which a patient murdered his sister’s boyfriend.
A report to next week’s meeting of the NHS Cheshire, Warrington and Wirral primary care trust board explains that the man, known as Patient B, had been “known to Cheshire and Wirral Partnership”, having been referred to its services in 2003. In 2007 he killed his sister’s boyfriend and kidnapped a retired couple.
He was later sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of 30 years for murder and kidnap.
“The provider has produced an action plan which details the proposed measures necessary to comply with each of the recommendations of the external report,” the report continues. “This plan and assurance against delivery will be monitored by Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group.”
The arrangements for monitoring the plan, including monthly meetings with the trust’s director of quality and assurance, are detailed in the report.
