Patient groups have been consulted and have commented on an initial proposal for the appeals process and the membership of an independent appeals panel. The UK Health Departments are now considering arrangements for the appeals process and the appointment of the panel.
Appointments to the panel will be made through the public appointments process. Funding for the panel will come from the total budget allocated to the Skipton Fund.
Decisions on the granting of legal aid are a matter for the Scottish Legal Aid Board. The Skipton Fund will not meet any legal or other expenses incurred by an applicant.
