It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Rees. I thank the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) for securing this hugely important debate. Health is a devolved matter, so I can really only respond on behalf of the NHS in England to the issues the hon. Gentleman raised, but surgical fires are a priority area of concern in all the devolved nations. Patient safety is our absolute focus and we want to provide the public with the safest care possible. We have put in place a number of measures aimed at supporting the NHS, including establishing the health safety investigation branch which conducts independent reviews and investigations into any patient safety concerns, including surgical fires. We are also introducing a statutory duty of candour to ensure that NHS organisations are open and honest towards patients if an incident occurs, such as a surgical fire. Further work on surgical fire prevention is best developed alongside the wider national safety standards for invasive procedures led by the Centre for Perioperative Care. Work is ongoing to develop guidelines to minimise the risk of surgical fires happening in the first place and to advise the NHS on the issue. I am also keen that staff training is a priority, ensuring that their staff are trained properly in fire safety when new equipment comes in. The risk of surgical fire is taken very seriously by the Department and work continues in this field to ensure that the correct guidance is there to minimise the risk of surgical fires occurring.
