At present Safety Alert performance is only measured through the completion of NHSI National Patient Safety Alerts, but these represent less than 10% of the Safety Alerts issued on the MHRA Central Alert System (CAS). Adding a new metric that measures each Trust's performance in completing all Safety Alerts issued to them via CAS would be a useful Metric for assessing Trust Performance in Managing Safety Alerts.

The NRLS already produce a metric for all Acute Trusts measuring the number of Incidents reported per 1,000 bed days, this would be a very useful Metric for assessing Trust Performance in Incident Reporting and Management
