Redress — financial compensation

(2) Where a Welsh NHS body considers that the value to be attributed to the qualifying liability arising from the provision of qualifying services exceeds the limit set out in paragraph (1), redress in the form of financial compensation must not be offered in accordance with these Regulations.

(3) The assessment of damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity is calculated on the common law basis. Welsh Ministers may from time to time issue a compensation tariff.
