NHS: Negligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is taking steps to establish a national framework for collecting and sharing data on the causes of clinical negligence.
Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
NHS Resolution manages clinical negligence and other claims against the National Health Service in England.
NHS Resolution recognises the importance of sharing its data to provide a full picture of potential harm. NHS Resolution’s Safety and Learning Team works with its members to interpret and triangulate claims data with other insights to inform local patient safety plans. It also publishes reports to highlight causes of harm to improve safety including from maternity claims.
