Aanpassingen van het medisch tuchtrecht

In the first half of 2019, the Dutch medical disciplinary law will be amended.

Changes include court fees to be paid by people filing complaints, the introduction of an information officer and the possibility to order a health professional to stop his activities during disciplinary proceedings.

Some of these amendments are mainly intended to prevent ‘complaints of minor importance’ from being filed with the disciplinary court.
