In March 2012, we strengthened the NHS Constitution to include an expectation that staff will raise their concerns early and a pledge that their employer will act upon those concerns.</p><p> </p><p>We are also introducing a Duty of Candour, so that when things go wrong, organisations have a statutory duty to admit mistakes and tell patients what has happened.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 10/07/2014 15:40:21 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
