Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) 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 my hon. Friend agree that if independence is instilled in the fact-finding part of this process, people will be less likely to seek financial compensation when what they most seek is an apology and a proper finding of the facts, and that that will save the NHS money, as well as giving confidence to patients who have been wronged by the system?
