Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
Medical reports were alluded to earlier. When medical reports are presented to the board, in many or in at least some cases these reports by so-called experts do not adequately reflect the injuries or allow for the possible recurrence of symptoms. In many cases, solicitors ask questions about perceived inadequacies in medical reports. The guy or girl who freezes when asked questions in front of a board will not be able to ask questions about medical matters. There should be some representation for such people. Many people will be able to express themselves adequately but others will not.
