From October 2014 health care provider organisations which are registered with the Care Quality Provision will be bound by a Duty of Candour; they will be legally obliged to disclose to people using services, or family members when appropriate, when there have been failures in the health care provision. The decision to introduce a Duty of Candour follows on from the Mid-Staffordshire Public Inquiry. A further investigation took place into the level of harm at which providers would need to exercise the Duty of Candour.
