Motion text

That this House calls upon the Government to amend the Vaccine Damage Payments Act 1970 by removing Section 3(c), which places a six year limit on the period in which claims can be made, thereby unjustly barring some families from at least having their claims investigated by graduating the payment to cover all degrees of disability, particularly in view of cases of partial paralysis from polio vaccination, excluded because of the 80 per cent. disability rule, and by increasing the provision made for vaccine damaged persons in a way which will adequately compensate them for the injuries they have suffered in the interest of public health policies.
