Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Mr. Kevin Thompson:
Neither Mr. Horan nor I are qualified to comment on the constitutional aspects. From memory, care not cash has not been enacted in the UK yet. The policy decision has been made but it has not been enacted. What we are saying is that it is probably worth looking at at some point but I will come back to my colleague's comments earlier. When one looks at something like the Injuries Board and how we can get more claims through it, there are probably far more systems issues we could address to bring quicker solutions to the table rather than care not cash, which probably needs to be evaluated further.
