Implementing a ‘duty of candour’: a new contractual requirement on providers - analysis of consultation responses: This analysis examines responses to the consultation on proposals to toughen transparency in NHS organisations and increase patient confidence announced by Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter following a public consultation. The government’s proposal was for a contractual requirement, implemented through the NHS Standard Contract, covering NHS acute, ambulance, community and mental health care providers. The contract would require these organisations to be open with patients when things go wrong with their healthcare and give them information about any investigations that have taken place, or any lessons learned.
