Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

My one reservation is my concern about the general practitioner as the plaintiff's agent in court. I know there will be a board and a medical panel to which people who feel they have lost out as regards medical indemnity can be referred. This has been modestly successful in the social welfare area where people felt the disability they had incurred was not fully understood. This could also happen with the proposed board and it may be just another stage before people decide to go to court. I wish the board well.
