    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Kenyatta National Hospital’s (KNH) Accident and Emergency Unit received ten patients from the stampede that occurred at the Nyayo National Stadium on 23rd October, 2010. Eight of them were treated and discharged while two absconded before treatment. The 11th victim of the stampede was brought to the hospital dead. (b) The KNH has an active Quality Assurance Unit at the Accident and Emergency Unit. The quality assurance interventions in place include the following:- (i) Availability and implementation of Standards Operating Procedures (SOPs). (ii) Monthly quality assurance committee meetings. (iii) Continuous training on quality management systems. (iv) A quality improvement team which monitors, evaluates and reports on non- conformity to SOPs. (c) The hospital has a functional CT Scan Unit acquired in 2005 at a cost of Kshs146,765,100. The equipment is on a full maintenance contract with our supplier, M/s Philip Medical Systems. Unfortunately, it broke down on 22nd October, 2010 and needed replacement of some worn out fans which had to be imported from the Netherlands. Normal CT Scan services resumed on 28th October, 2010 after the replacement of the fans. It was during the sixth day when the equipment was down that patients were referred to Nairobi West Hospital and The Nairobi Hospital."
