GovWire

We are the Department of Health and Social Care. We write all the big rules for health and social care services. We wrote the duty of candour rules. We have heard that some services might not be following the rules as well as they should. We want to check this. We are asking lots of people and organisations about what they think. Your answers will help us to check:

• if the rules are working properly
• if we need to make any changes

You might want to tell us what you think because you are:

• someone who has been affected by the duty of candour
• health and social care staff, family or a carer of someone who has been affected by the duty of candour
• a person who is interested in the duty of candour

Follow the Respond online link in the Ways to respond box below to tell us your ideas.
