(3) If, in accordance with paragraph (2), a Welsh NHS body considers that the financial limit set by these Regulations will be exceeded, if the investigation conducted by the Welsh NHS body concludes that there is a qualifying liability, the Welsh NHS body may give consideration to making an offer of settlement outside the provisions of these Regulations.
(4) The assessment of damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity is calculated on the common law basis. Welsh Ministers may from time to time issue a compensation tariff.
(5) If a tariff is issued in accordance with paragraph (4), it is to be used for the purpose of guidance by Welsh NHS bodies when considering the amount of financial compensation to be offered in accordance with this Part.
