The problem with the Office of Wards of Court, in my experience, is that less money is being paid out than was paid in because of the restrictions it now faces. Is this new challenge being looked at in terms of how it can be managed into the future? Everyone wants to make sure that people who have suffered catastrophic injuries are adequately compensated and have sufficient revenue available to them to provide the level of support they require. My experience of the Office of Wards of Court, and I am looking for clarification on this, is that it has delivered a negative return on investments.
