Text

I thank the Minister for that answer. The hyponatraemia-related deaths, the Muckamore Abbey abuse allegations, the neurology scandal, the infected blood scandal and much more have demonstrated very clearly the importance of having robust mechanisms in place to ensure honesty and transparency when things go wrong in health and social care. Can the Minister commit today to learning from those tragedies and playing his part in delivering statutory, individual and organisational duties of candour in the public services in Northern Ireland for which he has responsibility?
