Introduction
The Medical Innovation Bill, introduced by Lord Saatchi and commonly referred to as the “Saatchi Bill”, has passed the House of Lords and is about to be debated in the House of Commons.
The Saatchi Bill is internally inconsistent and must be scrutinised in the Commons
The Bill claims to both protect patients and also prevent doctors fearing litigation - clearly, it cannot achieve both. One must come at the expense of the other, and it's patients who are going to lose out.
