Vol. 380 No. 4

Written Answers. - No-fault Compensation.

49.

asked the Minister for Health if he will consider introducing no-fault compensation in cases of negligence against members of the medical profession; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Any change from the existing process of establishing liability and awarding compensation in cases of medical negligence would have to be considered in the context of the law of tort as a whole. I have no plans to introduce such a system.
