draft Being Open Framework Consultation Event
The Department of Health launched a public consultation asking for views on the draft ‘Being Open’ Framework and the establishment of a Duty of Candour in Northern Ireland. The consultation opened on 10 December 2024 and will close 21 March 2025 at 5.00pm.
The consultation is seeking views on the draft Framework which aims to ensure that;
- all people in contact with HSC organisations can expected to be treated in an open, fair and compassionate way;
- patients and those close to them will be listened to, understood and treated with respect;
- HSC staff have visible, engaged and inclusive leadership; and
- Senior Leaders will listen to concerns and create safe spaces for learning.
As part of this consultation, the Department of Health invite you to share your feedback and questions at an online consultation event, facilitated by the Patient and Client Council on Thursday 20th March 2025 at 5.30pm. This event will take place on Zoom.
If this time does not suit you, the Public Health Agency are also facilitating an event on this consultation on Thursday 13th March 2025 at 10am - 11.30am. More information
