I'm interested in joining the Volkswagen class action, but am concerned that the real damage done by the company has been to the health of the general public. Is there any way of persuading the solicitors to seek compensation mainly for the national health service, which has had to deal with the consequences?

I'm also concerned at the cut the solicitors will take. The more of us join the action, the more their cut goes up, but the amount of work required does not go up proportionately. One million clients would not require a thousand times as much work as a thousand clients, but they will still take 30% of the pot. This seems utterly ridiculous.
