Consultation on a Patient Safety Commissioner Role for Scotland, closes 28th May 2021

"Overview
The Scottish Government's Programme for Government 2020-21 commits the Government to establishing a Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland. This paper therefore seeks views on what that role should look like; who the Patient Safety Commissioner should report to; and how the role should interact with existing legislation and policies, as well as with the various organisations involved in providing and improving health and care services in Scotland."

MEAction Scotland: Respond To The Patient Safety Commissioner Role Consultation

"The Patient Safety Commissioner role could provide a way to fill this gap in reporting and ensure therapies like GET can be formally reported. Even as guidance around GET begins to change, we know it will take time to filter down through NHS systems and so we need to be able to take action where it’s found that these harmful therapies are still being offered.

#MEAction Scotland is submitting a response to the consultation suggesting this but you can also submit a response as an individual or a support group. The more responses the Government receives asking to widen the scope of the role, the more they will see it as an important issue."
