The NHS Litigation Authority (
NHSLA) is dealing with compensation claims for those suffering from MRSA.
The figures, from the NHS Litigation Authority (
NHSLA), put Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, in London, ahead of HEFT, after it paid out a total of PS23.7 million.
The
NHSLA study also says compensation payments and legal costs are up 27 per cent to almost PS1.5million.
The data emerged after a Freedom of Information request to the NHS Litigation Authority (
NHSLA), which handles complaints about hospitals and pays compensation and legal fees with taxpayers' money.
It acted for the
NHSLA in a settlement concerning Selwood v Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHSFT and ors, a duty of care case.
The hospital is part of an insurance scheme run by the NHS Litigation Authority (
NHSLA), but a report warned management that the rules have changed and could see them having to find up to PS44m - which would plunge the hospital into the red.
So it is considering switching from using the public NHS Litigation Authority (
NHSLA) to a private provider as it looks to get a better deal.
