Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Act will be commenced by June and is designed to create a culture of truth in which doctors, nurses, midwives, scientists and others feel they can make an apology without it being seen as an admission of guilt and admit a mistake without it being used against them. We need to create a culture of truth in the health service where people operate in that space. The next step is to legislate for mandatory open disclosure of serious reportable incidents. We indicated we would do that at the time. But it is a mistake if people believe it is as simple as passing a law.
