HC Deb 17 June 1991 vol 193 cc30-1W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Attorney-General what assessment he has made of impending changes in the legal aid system on access to legal redress for patients in Wales who believe they have suffered through medical negligence.

The Attorney-General

The safety net proposal which is canvassed in the Lord Chancellor's recent consultation paper on eligibility for civil legal aid would extend legal aid to those who may currently be ineligible but who face high costs. It could be of particular help to litigants in medical negligence cases in which costs may be high.
