Surgical errors, a medical swab left inside someone?s body and an attempted suicide are some of the worst incidents at Sheffield?s hospitals so far this year.
A new report has revealed there were 13 serious incidents at the city?s health trusts in June and July.
The document, by the NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group, lists mistakes and accidents reported in the first quarter of 2013.
At Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the Northern General, Royal Hallamshire and Weston Park hospitals, as well as the Jessop maternity wing, a swab was left inside a patient during a clinical procedure.
