The Sensitive Claims Pathway Review Panel was asked to review the implementation and impact of the ACC's Clinical Pathway on people who have mental injury caused by sexual abuse or assault. The Panel's report found that: the Pathway resulted in a steep drop in the number of claims submitted and is discouraging sexual abuse victims from lodging a claim; there are no good legislative or clinical reasons to restrict access to cover to only those who have a DSM-IV diagnosis; triage of all claims is taking too long and any delay at this stage can result in further trauma for survivors; ACC's communications with sexual abuse victims and providers have often been inappropriate and inadequate; overall the Pathway is effectively a claims management pathway which has significantly worsened timeliness, reduced appropriate access, and not improved outcomes for individual clients nor for groups with particular needs; and overall the Pathway was poorly planned and hurriedly implemented without adequate consultation with the sector or relevant central government agencies. The report makes 14 specific recommendations to address these findings. Information about the SCU Clinical Pathway can be found in the Clinical Framwork (2009) document, archived by National Library pf New Zealand.
