Bid to fast track medical fault claims
Victims of medical negligence could soon make “quickie” compensation claims without having to prove the responsibility of individuals or organisations under a new scheme to be examined in Scotland.
Experts are to investigate whether NHS patients should be able to claim compensation even if negligence cannot be proved, the Scottish Government said yesterday.
The present “unpleasant and stressful” system of compensation depends on proving legal responsibility and clinical negligence and can lead to lengthy and expensive court cases, which in itself can put people off any attempt to claim redress.
