NHS errors: Tools left in patients and amputation errors make list of blunders

NHS errors: Tools left in patients and amputation errors make list of blunders More than 600 patients have suffered due to serious NHS errors, including botched hysterectomies and surgeons operating on the wrong patient.

A total of 629 "never events" - meaning they are so serious they should never happen - occurred between April 2018 and July 2019 in NHS hospitals - the equivalent of nine patients every week. Sky News
