AvMA, Action against Medical Accidents, a charity, is inviting people to sign a petition to urge the Government to reconsider proposals to remove clinical negligence claims from the scope of Legal Aid and to further restrict access to justice by changing the rules that govern making claims under a condition fee ('no-win no-fee') agreement.
This Telegraph article may help you to decide whether to sign it. I agree with every word of Mr Jonathan Sinclair-Wilson, as quoted in the article. The proposed removal of legal aid would certainly increase the incidences of clinical negligence and avoidable suffering ,and would therefore not save any money at all.
