Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on NHS Redress Bill (HL).
NHS Redress Bill [Lords]
It is because we have in mind a unified, coherent scheme wherein trusts work closely with the scheme authority to ensure both that thorough and detailed investigation reports are produced and that, based on those reports, correct offers of settlement are made. We have in mind a single scheme, not a multiplicity of schemes once the investigation stage is complete, as the hon. Gentleman seems to envisage. We propose a coherent whole so that we might avoid the need for the legal process and thereby improve the patient experience and reduce the cost to the system as a whole.
