Recommendation (the committee's words)
We further recommend that, in parallel, an investigation by an independent administrative body responsible for alternative dispute resolution should be completed and a determination on liability for compensation released to the family, the Trust and NHS Resolution. The Trust and NHS Resolution would decide whether to accept liability for a mistake or negligence and to commence payments. If at the end of the six-month window liability for cases relating to maternity care has not been accepted these cases would fall within the remit of the Early Notification scheme and NHS Resolution.
