Recommendation 6
6
Paragraph: 86
Focus new administrative patient compensation system initially on obstetric cases, then expand
Recommendation
As it becomes embedded within the framework of the NHS, we recommend that, in the first instance, the new administrative patient compensation system should be focused on obstetric cases which align with the Each Baby Counts criteria. Once established, and having proven its value, the independent administrative compensation system should then be expanded to accommodate all patient injury claims made against the NHS in England.
