The Putting Things Right Scheme in Wales : Emma Hart and Phoebe Blythin

Welcome to The Legal Lounge, where you'll hear from Amanda and her team of lawyers from Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors talking about many aspects of law in England and Wales. During the series you'll hear from special guests, industry experts and local charities.

In this episode, Emma and Phoebe from the Clinical Negligence Team explain the Welsh Redress Scheme, which is a method of handling and investigating complaints about the NHS in Wales. This is an alternative to litigation, but the legal test that must be proved is the same as in a formal clinical negligence claim. The compensation available under the scheme is capped at £25,000, and the team at Lanyon Bowdler are able to assist with advising as to the appropriateness of offers of redress, negotiations under the Scheme, and advising in cases where the Welsh Redress Scheme may not be appropriate.
