 
                            Proposals are being put forward to improve transparency for patients when healthcare goes wrong.
A new statutory duty of candour is included in the Manx Care Bill, requiring organisations that provide health and care services to be open and honest.
The Bill also requires a formal procedure for when an incident occurs which has caused, or is likely to cause, harm to an individual.
As a result, government has launched a public consultation to get the views of residents on the matter.
Among a series of topics, the consultation seeks views on the proposed requirements to be placed on service providers, the thresholds for harm that trigger the procedure, and the preferred approach for when someone can receive information about an incident on behalf of another.
Anyone wanting to take part can do so on the online government consultation hub until January 22, 2021.
