Insurance Matters: Engagement with the Alliance for Insurance Reform
2:00 am
Mr. Brian Hanley:
The injury board, to be fair, has done very well.
Its model is excellent. During the previous Government, it introduced a new mediation service to try to deal with more contentious things. It can now deal with psychiatric injury. It has been trying to bring more cases in there to settle. Now that we have the data to show the awards are just the same, as they should be, because they should all reflect the personal injury guidelines, there is even less justification-----
