Recommendation 12
12
Paragraph: 122
Administrative compensation scheme should offer generous, uncapped awards covering private care costs.
Conclusion
There is no reason why an administrative scheme should be any less generous in the compensation it awards than the courts, not least because damages would not be top sliced to meet claimant legal costs. Within the administrative compensation system, no caps would be applied to the awards, but a mechanism would be required to establish the cost of care that may need to be provided privately in addition to state funded support.
