Rapid Resolution and Redress scheme proposed for birth injuries
The government plans to introduce a Rapid Resolution and Redress (RRR) scheme – a voluntary administrative compensation scheme
for families affected by severe avoidable birth injury, and the Department of Health (DoH) has launched a consultation looking
at how the scheme is administered, the eligibility threshold for compensation, and how learning would best be shared and acted
on to reduce future harm.
