7. Test run of business forms

New forms associated with the redress scheme will include:

• Agreements between care providers and Scottish Ministers regarding the sum and nature of financial contributions to the redress scheme.
• Form for organisations/individuals to complete when responding to requests for records, documents, or other evidence.
• Forms for lawyers to request payment of fees.
• Waiver for redress applicants to confirm that they accept the payment offered and they will not continue or pursue a legal action against a care provider for the same injury for which they have applied for redress.
• Application form(s) for redress applicants.
• Forms for redress applicants to request reviews of determinations.

In line with best practice, all forms will be tested with potential end users to ensure they are straightforward to complete.
