I move amendment No. 50:

In page 30, after line 41, to insert the following:“(i) a statement as to what further enquiries, if any, into the patient safety incident the health services provider believes are appropriate and which it proposes to undertake;”.

It is implicit in section 18 that health service providers will make additional inquiries into a safety incident if necessary after an open disclosure has been made. The amendment aims to codify that in the Bill by adding to the list of things which a service provider has to tell a patient at a disclosure meeting and a statement as to what further inquiries into the incident the health service body feels are appropriate and which it will be undertaking. We think it is pretty reasonable and cannot see any reason why the Minister would not support it.
