“Claims for clinical negligence are a valuable source of learning and an opportunity for improvement which should not be lost.”
“Clinical negligence claims are an ever-increasing burden in the NHS, with the annual cost of harm amounting to £8.3 billion in 2019/20”
“The patients who are harmed and their families are, of course, those most directly affected by clinical negligence—defined as a breach of the legal duty of care that causes harm. But the strains are felt throughout the system. Every pound spent on clinical negligence is a pound that cannot be spent on care.”
“With some trusts paying over £40m in yearly contributions and the annual cost representing around 2% of the NHS budget, it is clear that board-level attention on claims is essential and should be part of the effective governance of any organisation. With the additional financial pressures on the NHS from COVID-19, getting our approach to claims right, and learning from them, has never been more important.”
