NHS Trusts: Negligence
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how funds paid in the Exchequer due to legal actions against NHS trusts since 2020 have been spent.
Answered by James Murray
Fines against any public body are either returned to the Consolidated Fund or used to offset expenditure of the enforcing body based on whether a netting off agreement is in place. Further information is set out in Consolidated Budgeting Guidance.
