    1. What is the number of serious incident reviews relating to clinical negligence at your hospitals in 2016, 2017, 2018.
    2. What is the monetary value of successful clinical negligence claims made against your hospitals in 2016, 2017, 2018.
  • In the last 3 years, what is the number of settled claims where damages have been paid (in relation to the various categories set out).

 

 

The Trust does hold the information you have requested, however we estimate that compliance with your request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under section 12 of the Freedom of information Act 2000. This is currently £450. The appropriate limit would be exceeded if it would require more than 18 hours work.

We do not have a database which records this information.  To provide this information we would need to review over 1500 case files, taking approximately two minutes per record, and 50 hours in total. We are therefore withholding this information under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act.

Please be advised that NHS Resolution may be able to provide this information from their claims database. You may wish to contact them using the details here.
