Hospitals will be forced to admit medical errors, says government | Politics | The Guardian

The Department of Health has published its full response to last week's NHS Future Forum report, accepting many of the forum's recommendations and introducing a drive for transparency that will require hospitals to admit errors.

A written ministerial statement said hospitals would have a new "duty of candour", requiring them to tell patients when they had made mistakes – a key demand from the "listening exercise".

Providers of NHS services would have the duty written into their contracts in a drive to increase transparency.

The government has moved to eliminate the chances for "cherry-picking", whereby private providers seek to take on the most profitable operations. Royal colleges – professional bodies for health professionals – would be enlisted to develop safeguards to eliminate this.
