Recommendation 23

23 Paragraph: 187

Incorporate periodical review into compensation awards to meet patients' changing needs over time.

Recommendation
The most effective system would be one that can provide initial compensation within weeks of a claim and then be adapted to meet the individual child’s requirements as they grow and develop. We recommend that awards be made with periodical review built in so that they can become responsive to the changing needs of patients.
