NHS doctors who make 'honest mistakes' to get more protection
Doctors who make honest mistakes will be given more protection under NHS plans to prevent blunders being covered up.
Under the plans, launched on Monday by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, doctors accused of making errors will no longer be forced to disclose personal case notes.
The General Medical Council watchdog will also lose the power to appeal the outcomes of their tribunals.
Mr Hunt said the plans were a promise to doctors that “the NHS will support them to learn rather than seek to blame”.
Doctor will also be instructed to investigate every new death in England, as part of efforts to improve safety. The Telegraph
