NHS Redress: Statement of policy

This document sets out in more detail how it is intended that the NHS Redress Scheme will work in practice, and how the powers taken in the primary legislation are proposed to be used in the secondary legislation. This detail has been developed through extensive discussions with stakeholders as to how the scheme might most effectively work in practice. However, these details are not final; the intention is to work with stakeholders in drafting the secondary legislation and then to publish the draft regulations for further, more formal consultation.
