Duty of candour annual reports
NHS Highland publishes an annual report which describes how the organisation has implemented and operated the duty of candour procedures over the previous year.
The requirements of the legislation relating to organisational duty of candour apply to all health and social care services in Scotland and means that when unintended or unexpected events happen that result in death or harm as defined in the Act, the people affected understand what has happened, receive an apology, and are informed by the organisation of what has been learned and how improvements for the future will be made.
