The Mid Staffordshire crisis has been the worst that has ever taken place in the history of NHS. The scandal has equally shaken the government, which is busy in coming with profound measures, so that the incident does not get repeated.

Jeremy Hunt has recently addressed the matter in the Parliament. He was of the view that all trusts will be required to maintain an environment that gives freedom to doctors, nurses and other staff members to report any incident taken place in hospital and has caused death or chronic injury.

One of the other measures that will be taken is every trust will be required to publicize the number of staff available in each ward. This will ensure that safe level of care is provided to patients.

It has also been planned that patients will be having a slip pasted above their beds, which will have the name of consultant and nurse. All these and other changes are expected to take place from April 2014.

These changes are said to be part of the formal reply to the Mid Staffordshire crisis. "We want a signal to go out to every trust board and chief executive in the country, to every doctor and nurse-if you are in any doubt at all, report", said Hunt.
