Civil damages claims. (a) A Doctor receiving or who has received accident pay will advise his or her Health Service of any action the Doctor may institute or any claim the Doctor may make for damages. The Doctor, if requested, will provide an authority to the Health Service entitling the Health Service to a charge upon any money payable pursuant to any judgment or settlement on that injury. (b) Where a Doctor obtains a judgment or settlement for damages in respect of an injury for which they have received accident pay, the Health Service’s liability to pay accident pay will cease from the date of judgment or settlement. However, if the judgment or settlement for damages is not reduced, either in whole or in part, by the amount of accident pay made by the Health Service, the Doctor will pay to the Health Service any amount of accident pay already received in respect of that injury by which the judgment or settlement has not been reduced. (c) Where a Doctor obtains a judgment or settlement for damages against a person other than the Health Service in respect of an injury for which the Doctor has received accident pay, the Health Service’s liability to pay accident pay will cease from the date of judgment or settlement. However if the judgment or settlement for damages is not reduced either in whole or part by the amount of accident pay made by the Health Service, the Doctor will pay to the Health Service any amount of accident pay already received in respect of that injury by which the judgment or settlement has not been reduced.
