Thank you. A crucial aspect of the programme is the way in which it encourages people to be open about failure.

Great successes have been highlighted in the debate, and we should be proud of the staff who have led this challenging work, because they have looked not just for good news stories but for examples of failure that others can learn from. I applaud all those who have contributed to the patient safety programme and its outstanding achievements.
