He also updated MLAs on the work being taken forward to implement the recommendations of the Public Inquiry into Hyponatraemia Related Deaths (IHRD).
In the written statement, the Minister said, “A Statutory Duty of Candour would create a legal responsibility for all healthcare organisations and individual staff, to be honest when things go wrong.”
