Healthcare probably isn’t the only such industry with such variability and strains, but it is one of the most heavily scrutinised and criticised, just because of the fact that it affects virtually everyone at some time in their life, and we all pay for it in our taxes
You have a statutory individual duty of candour for HCPs in Scotland? Not just a professional one? Really? Don't suppose you can point me towards the statute which makes that clear, could you please? Very interesting.
And don't start me on #Gosport. You'd be here a while! :)

No Scotland doesn't have a statutory individual duty of candour. It is an organisational duty which has no enforcement criteria as Scotland (unbelievably) has no independent health regulator.
-
Oh! So Cathy was incorrect about that then? Perhaps explains the lack of response? And you don't even have an independent health regulator? (Not that ours South of the border is worth a damn). But how does that work?? Throw in the strange stance on 'intent' & it's very confusing.

It doesn't work at all especially for families let down by sub standard care. We only have an NHS in house quality assurance body (quango) which regurgitates IHI methodology and has no surveillance or intervention powers and cannot investigate individual cases.
-
Eh? So, dare I ask... who *does* independently investigate individual cases if there's whiff of cover up? (When isn't there such a whiff around the NHS?)

Oh dear God! And there was me thinking we were holding the shitty end? Never trust a politician who starts out trying to convince you they're being clear. 'Recognised the quality of Scottish healthcare'? Easy I guess, if all you do is add up the 10/10s they give to themselves.
