Here is the gist of it, although there is a lot more:-

The NHS's clinical negligence bill surged to £2.4billion last year, figures have revealed.
Patients sued the health service for £1.4bn in 2018/19 and it had to fork out another billion in legal fees.
More than half of the payout money went to new mothers who had experienced care failings, despite them only making 10 per cent of the claims.
And the cost of errors is growing – there were only five more claims than in the previous year but the cost was £137million higher.

Some big claims even reached £20million for a single payout, which would once have been 'unthinkable', one expert warned.
Annual figures released today by NHS Resolution – the compensation arm of the health service – revealed the scale of lawsuits filed by NHS patients.

There were 10,678 negligence claims made last year, a tiny increase from the 10,673 in 2017/18.

But the cost rose from £2.29bn in 2017/18, which was up from £1.76bn in 2016/17.
