a scheme for recovering Road Traffic Accident fees
for A&E treatment but this will now be rolled out to
include other types of injury cases such as
accidents at work or public liability trips and
slips.
The pilot scheme may be
rolled out to further Trusts in the UK if it proves
a commercial and administrative success. It is
expected that the scheme will allow the NHS to
recoup up to £20 million in fees from the insurance
