Investigation of the Issue Has any investigation of the care given to individual patients been performed? Who carried this out and what were the findings? Has any supporting data (e.g. NLCA reports, local Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) report, SCTS returns data, Trust critical incident reporting or other internal data) been used to the LCCOP findings? Consider any potential issues in terms of (1) the outcomes achieved (survival, complication rates), (2) the processes of care used (e.g. does pre-operative assessment meet NICE or BTS/SCTS guidelines), and (3) the setting in which care is provided (e.g. the size of the unit, staffing, resources).
