Health bosses in Bradford are expected to show how they have reviewed their procedures in light of two major national scandals.

After serious failings in care at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust were exposed, a public inquiry, The Francis Report, recommended greater openness and transparency in all areas of the NHS.

A report setting out the work being done locally, by Bradford City and Bradford Districts Clinical Commiss-ioning Groups, will go before Bradford and Airedale Health and Wellbeing Board next week.

The board will also consider a review held in the light of another national scandal.

In May 2011, a BBC Panorama programme was broadcast which showed people with learning difficulties being abused at the private Winterbourne View hospital in Gloucestershire.

The hospital has since been closed, but health bosses elsewhere in the country were urged to take steps to make sure the situation couldn’t be repeated elsewhere. NHS England has now asked local health boards to assess what progress they have made with this.

Bradford health bosses have completed the assessment to show the ways they are making sure patients are kept safe. The board will be asked on Wednesday to approve this assessment, before it is sent off.
