Health Services Safety Investigations Body

The Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) is a fully independent arm's length body of the Department of Health and Social Care. HSSIB came into operation on 1 October 2023. It investigates patient safety concerns across the NHS in England and in independent healthcare settings where safety learning could also help to improve NHS care.

It aims to produce rigorous, non-punitive, and systematic patient safety investigations and to develop system-wide safety recommendations for learning and improvement. It is separate from processes that seek to allocate blame, liability, or punishment.
