PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING: Stage 3 debate Health (Tobacco, Nicotine etc. and care) (Scotland) Bill

RCN Scotland briefing for the Stage 3 debate Health (Tobacco, Nicotine etc. and care) (Scotland) Bill

RCN Scotland supports the introduction of a ‘Duty of Candour’, however, we still have very serious reservations around the offence of ill-treatment and wilful neglect. We accept, however, that the offence will be created and look forward to the discussions around the type of education, training and support that health and care professionals receive.
