Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on NHS Redress Bill [HL].


NHS Redress Bill [Lords]

Does the Secretary of State accept that it is important to patients that there should be an element of independence in the process? If they see that the redress scheme is being run by the NHS Litigation Authority, they might be less convinced that they are getting genuinely independent scrutiny and a genuinely independent assessment of their compensation.
