Introduction
All health and social care services in Scotland have a Duty of Candour (DoC). This is a legal requirement which means that when unintended or unexpected events happen that result
in death or harm as defined in the Act, the people affected understand what has happened, receive an apology, and that organisations learn how to improve for the future.
An important part of this duty is that we provide an annual report about how the DoC is implemented in our services.
This report describes how we have operated the DoC during the time between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023.
