<p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to reducing the number of fraudulent
personal injury claims. To this end, we are considering what specific reforms might
be appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>As announced last year, we are working with stakeholders
in the industry to tighten the medical evidence process so that only evidence from
accredited experts can be considered, and the costs for those reports can be fixed.
This will mean people can no longer profit from exaggerated or fraudulent compensation
claims but victims with genuine cases can still get the help they deserve. We are
introducing these reforms later in the year. We are also working to secure better
data on motor accident cases, including the number of fraudulent cases.</p><p> </p><p>
