title: Out for consultation.
abstract: Harmful events The Scottish government is asking for views on proposals to introduce legislation that will require health and social care provider organisations to tell people if there has been an event that has caused them physical or psychological harm as a result of care or treatment. Organisations will have to put effective arrangements in place to demonstrate their commitment to disclose instances of physical or psychological harm. The consultation document outlines the existing approaches to candour, and details proposed requirements regarding disclosure, staff support and training, reporting disclosable events and monitoring implementation of the organisational duty of candour. The consultation closes on January 14. To read the proposals and respond, go to tinyurl.com/pggfrwn.
