And out here there are also experienced medical experts who see these cases and stick rigidly to the CPR. The agencies typically take half or more of the fee for a report so while they add cost, the value of their input is minimal. Reducing their hold and stopping referral fees which are illegal but still rife, can only be a good thing.

Referral direct to expert is more efficient and the fee goes to the person who does the work and has the expertise.

The fraud problem is the RTA3. these reports are written in a few minutes and almost never refer to original contemporaneous medical notes. In effect they are largely written by the claimant.

When I see them, as an Orthopaedic Surgeon, 12-18 months later, the notes will contradict the original claim in well over 50% of cases, and show exaggeration in over 80%.

To me that is where the fundamental problem lies.
