Conclusion (the committee's words)
We recognise that our recommendations would radically change the principles which underpin the way injured patients are compensated and the Bar Council said that to introduce a new statutory administrative scheme would be “a project of phenomenal ambition.” Given the scale of the undertaking, and the cultural change we are asking the system to make, the new system would be best implemented in stages with an initial focus on the most complex and expensive cases, which are those related to birth injuries.
