Deaths Of Children Through Medical Error

EDM number 824 in 1997-98, proposed by Simon Hughes on 24/02/1998.

That this House supports Action for Victims of Medical Accidents in its campaign for independent public inquiries into the death of children through medical error or negligence; records its concern that doctors are not currently legally required to disclose all the circumstances and facts surrounding a patient's death to bereaved relatives; and calls on the Government to take all necessary action to increase the accountability of the medical profession to the patient and the public.

This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs.
