High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The legislation is concerned exclusively with qualifying liability in tort and affirms Parliament's view that fault based liability should remain the basis of compensation for clinical mishaps. The statute is important legislation since it potentially affects NHS hospital patients; the intention is to extend its operation to primary care. The underlying policy of the Act is to provide a genuine alternative to litigation. The Act does not affect any private law rights. It is wholly concerned with the process of compensation; it does not alter the basis of compensation. It is procedural, not substantive. The Act proposes a redress package where there has been clinical negligence in hospital. The redress package must include: an offer of compensation, explanation, apology and report of action to prevent similar occurrences. The redress package may include care or treatment. The package can be accepted with waiver of the right to sue, or rejected. The redress scheme is to be run by the NHS Litigation Authority.
