Ministers are working on a total overhaul of the ‘outdated’ system of clinical negligence compensation within the NHS, it was revealed today.
Health minister Nadine Dorries told the health and social care committee that a review of the system was going ‘at pace’ and could involve all claims against the NHS.
The evidence session discussed ongoing safety concerns with maternity services in England following incidents at East Kent Hospitals University Trust and Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
Asked by committee chair and former health secretary Jeremy Hunt about the prospect of a no-fault compensation system, Dorries indicated that progress was ongoing about major changes to the current process.
