NHS Resolution handles clinical negligence claims on behalf of National Health Service organisations and independent sector providers of NHS care in England.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS Resolution have provided the following information which covers spend specifically attributed to clinical negligence, principally pay-outs pertaining to claims received under the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts. The figures also include clinical negligence pay-outs relating to Department-funded indemnity schemes in respect of legacy bodies such as primary care trusts and regional health authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
Costs in the context of HM Treasury-defined budgeting arrangements are defined as the amount expected to be paid in relation to settling claims in that financial year, including damages payments, claimant legal costs, and defence legal costs, and are shown in the following table.<\/p>
<\/p>
The costs reported do not include NHS Resolution administration or costs incurred locally by NHS providers in dealing with claims such as their own administration costs.<\/p>

The figures quoted should therefore be considered as broad estimates based on latest available information and subject to change in the future.<\/p> The figures provided in this reply do not include claims brought against general practitioners.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-27T12:46:00.483Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-03-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS: Negligence"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the potential cost of clinical negligence claims to NHS Resolution over the next three years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "234131"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1091201", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1091201/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : " In 2017 the National Audit Office (NAO) published a report which challenged the Government to publish a co-ordinated strategy to reduce clinical negligence costs.<\/p> <\/p> The Department of Health and Social Care is working jointly with the Ministry of Justice, the Treasury, Cabinet Office, NHS Resolution and others, to respond to the challenge from the NAO in their \u2018Managing the Costs of Clinical Negligence in Trusts\u2019 report to publish a co-ordinated strategy to reduce clinical negligence costs.
