(2) how many nutrition-related adverse incidents were recorded in the National Reporting and Learning System in each month since it was established;

The National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) contains information on incidents relating to patient safety for all national health service organisations in England and Wales. For each incident, the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) collect details on where, when, and what occurred, including a textual description of the event, as well as basic demographic information on the patient(s) involved (e.g. gender, age and ethnic group) and any resultant harm to the patient. Optional fields are also provided to the reporter for the provision of further details (e.g. additional analysis of the cause of an event).
The following table shows a list of nutrition-related adverse incidents recorded on the NRLS in each month since it was established.
