NHS Resolution
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the annual figures for payments made to each of NHS Resolution's panel law firms since the current legal framework came into effect in March 2022; and, in each case, what proportion of these payments were attributable to (a) medical negligence claims and (b) other claims.
