To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he plans to take in response to each of the eight principal recommendations made in the recently published National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death report on acute kidney injury. (307637)

Dr. Donal O'Donoghue, National Clinical Director for Kidney Care, has written to the chief executive of the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death further to the report on acute kidney injury.
