only 4% of NHSLA cases go to court
19/08/2010 by Patrick Keady.
DH is retaining the NHSLA. But, read on. 60% of acute trusts, 31% of mental health and learning disability trusts, 70% of maternity services and no ambulance trusts were at levels 2 or 3 of NHSLA’s risk management standards in March of this year. Solicitors succeeding in clinical negligence claims bill up to £450 per hour, and a success fee of 100%. NHSLA secures the very best of the defence market for £205 an hour, and no success fees. But, DH is exploring opportunities for greater commercial involvement. NHSLA is relocating to offices in London and Harrogate.
