This is an increase of £3.1 billion from 31 March 201<del class=\"ministerial\">4<ins class=\"ministerial\">3<\/ins><\/del>, which can mainly be attributed to a continual rise in clinical negligence claims over recent years. There are a number of factors driving this increase, including the rise in the number of patients cared for and in the complexity of their care; and the general rise in litigation across a number of sectors including the NHS, driven in part by \u2018no win, no fee\u2019 agreements. It is anticipated that the effect of the latter is likely to diminish as a result of the Government\u2019s Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act of 2012.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The Department believes the best way to reduce negligence claims is to improve patient care and safety. In March 2014, the Secretary of State for Health issued a call to action to make the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world and achieve a three-year goal to halve avoidable harm and save 6,000 lives. The Sign up to Safety campaign embodies the ambition of the NHS to build a culture of safety, bringing together individuals and organisations with a contribution to make towards the patient safety goal. Elements of this campaign will focus on a reduction in avoidable harm that can lead to compensation claims. Organisations that sign up are setting out what they will do to strengthen patient safety, including a safety improvement plan which shows how their organisation intends to save lives and reduce harm for patients over the next three years. The NHS Litigation Authority, which already provides a \u201csafety and learning service\u201d to trusts<strong>,<\/strong> will support those organisations which have patient safety improvement plans that show a likely reduction in their higher volume, higher value claims.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
