Human rights commissioner Alyson Kilpatrick said there was an obligation on doctors to be truthful.
A duty of candour is an onus on staff to be open and transparent with patients.
The BMA and the General General Medical Council oppose this.
The British Medical Association said it would go against creating a culture of openness and transparency.
“I do wonder why there seems to be something emotive about attaching the word criminal to it (duty of candour). "It is unlikely people are going to end up in prison - but if somebody has deliberately failed to notify a serious adverse incident resulting in death, maybe that has to be a sanction that is available it is a very, very serious failure.”.
