Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) 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]
I think that a simple scheme is a good idea, particularly when there is still access to the courts, but clause 8(3) refers, in shorthand, to a list of legal people who could provide advice upon an offer. That list is to be prepared by ““a specified person””. Can my right hon. Friend assure me that that specified person will be totally independent of the Department of Health? For example, it may be the Law Society of England and Wales, of which I am a member and which has a panel of clinical negligence experts.
