ACC sensitive claims

A press release from the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners

The College’s ACC Sensitive Claims Survey closed on Thursday. We received 148 responses, conveying a wide range of views. Susan Dovey, Associate Professor from Otago University, is analysing responses and we hope to report her findings next Tuesday.
The Minister for ACC has set up an independent Panel, chaired by Dr Barbara Disley, to review the Sensitive Claims Clinical Pathway. The panel is receiving written submissions from organisations and people affected by the changes with the introduction of the Clinical Pathway. To be considered, submissions must reach the panel by Friday 18 June 2010. They can be emailed to ClinicalPathwayReviewSubmissions@researchnz.com or posted to the panel at PO Box 1039, Wellington 6140. Information on the review and the Terms of Reference is available at http://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/sensitive+claims+review+announced.
The College will be making a submission to the panel. Copies of individual submissions and comments to contribute to the College submission can be sent to policy@rnzcgp.org.nz before 14 June.
