Abstract
- The article discusses the potential for new legislation in the UK, known as the "Hillsborough Law," which aims to strengthen the concept of candour in public life, particularly in health and social care. Topics include the current statutory duty of candour in the NHS, the need for a broader and more effective duty of candour, and the impact of public inquiries, such as the Hillsborough and Infected Blood inquiries, in driving legislative change.
