Plans to cut legal aid for medical negligence opposed
A charity has begun a legal challenge over government proposals to axe legal aid for victims of medical negligence.
Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) is seeking a judicial review of the plans it calls "completely irrational".
It fears the most vulnerable people who are injured by negligent NHS treatment will be denied access to justice.
