Part 3: Duty of candour

Section 7 – Local Health Board, NHS Trust and Special Health Authority: reporting requirements

23.This section requires local health boards, NHS trusts and special health authorities (including NHS Blood and Transplant in relation to the exercise of its functions in Wales), as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year, to prepare an annual report on the duty of candour. It also makes provision about what that report must contain (but it can include other information).
