Professor Ann O'Doherty:

May I make one point?

If a woman has been harmed or an error has happened, we are not against her receiving a payout. However, the payout should be commensurate with the error and not depend on whether she has the most aggressive solicitor. When we discussed the issue, we did not conclude that women should not be compensated but that a mediation process should be provided because we are scared that we will be unable to deliver a screening service if it becomes extremely costly.
