Recommendation 14
14
Minister confirms protection for vulnerable groups under new UC health system.
Conclusion
The regulations underpinning the WCA include important safeguards for those with high-risk pregnancies, the terminally ill, those receiving cancer treatment and those who would be at substantial risk if they were not awarded UC health. Given the serious impact the loss of these protections would have, we welcome the Minister’s confirmation that it will protect these groups in the future. (Conclusion, Paragraph 119)
