It proposes changes to the Patient Safety Act, which was originally passed in 2012. The Patient Safety Act deals with how healthcare providers and facilities report and handle medical errors, near-misses, and other safety incidents to protect patients. Unfortunately, the full text of the specific amendments is not included in the provided document — only the bill's title, introduction date, and legislative progress information are available. As a result, it is not possible to describe exactly what changes are being proposed to the original 2012 law. The bill is currently at First Reading stage, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or passed. It was introduced as a Private Member's Bill, which means it was brought forward by an individual MLA rather than by the government.
