  • How, if at all, will decisions about the scope of settings to improve safety in care weight the criteria of: risk or vulnerability, cost effectiveness, feasibility, practicality, and the role of the State?

Answer

Officials will provide advice to Ministers on which settings should be in scope for each aspect of the Crown response. I expect that advice on options to be informed by an assessment against relevant and appropriately weighted criteria.
