'Some of the more ludicrous medico-legal actions'? The Government, nor
most people, thought it ludicrous when they had to settle up to
haemophiliacs infected with HIV, nor to non-hameophiliacs infected
through transfusions. Similarly when they had to do likewise recently
for children infected with CJD through Human Growth Hormone. Ditto a
cosmetic manufacturer injuring a customers face and employers breaching
COSHH and, as a result, increasing the asthma figures. Even with regard
to all the other cases in which we are involved, whether succesful or
not, they all have the support of highly respected and experienced
medical and scientific experts, not just lawyers.We could not get these
cases off the ground without medical opinion in support.
