Section 3 - Accessing redress

8.This section makes provision for Welsh Ministers to make whatever arrangements they see as appropriate about accessing the redress arrangements. Subsection (2) provides that the regulations may specify who may access the arrangements. This might be the patient or someone on their behalf, or the organisation concerned might initiate the arrangements on the patient’s behalf and with their consent. The regulations may also make provision for time limits in relation to accessing redress.
