I am determined that recent experiences will lead to improvements in the health services. In that regard, today I am bringing a Memo to Government proposing mandatory open disclosure of serious events.
Furthermore, the implementation of the National Cancer Strategy 2017-2026, which I launched last year, is progressing and this will lead to improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment measures, resulting in better outcomes for patients.
