Recommendation 10
10
Paragraph: 120
Consult widely and evaluate best practice to establish administrative patient compensation system criteria
Recommendation
Establishing the precise criteria for an administrative patient injury compensation system based on system error is a complex task. We have taken evidence from various successful international schemes that each use a different threshold and we do not seek to be prescriptive over which threshold should be used in England. We recommend that the Government should consult widely at home - and evaluate best practice from abroad - to ensure that the bar is set appropriately.
