Finally, I was very pleased to see an advertisement from the State Claims Agency in all the newspapers about two weeks ago. The advertisement in question requests submissions to the expert group to consider alternative mechanisms to the core process of resolving clinical negligence claims. That is fantastic. Item No. B in the advertisement refers to considering whether there may be alternative mechanisms to the court process to resolve clinical negligence claims. Did it take the CervicalCheck issue for the State Claims Agency to come to a position it should have come to years ago?
