At The Medical Law Partnership, we are deeply concerned and saddened by the findings from the Public Accounts Committee” back in May, which revealed the total NHS medical negligence liabilities bill has now reached an unprecedented £58.2 billion.
While this figure is shocking, what’s more shocking is that, behind every figure lies a patient whose life has been changed forever due to avoidable harm and injury. These are people who have placed their trust in a healthcare system that failed to protect them. They all represent a systemic failure that demands urgent and sustained attention.
The Committee’s findings echo what our clients have told us, that too often, the response from the NHS is defensive and slow. Patients and families frequently come to us not just seeking compensation, but seeking the truth, accountability, and the assurance that what happened to them will not happen to someone else.
At The Medical Law Partnership, our role is to ensure that patients and their families receive the compensation they need for on-going support, and to rebuild their lives going forward. When the system fails, lives are shattered, we are proud to stand with those people, not just in the pursuit of justice, but to push for meaningful change and make the health care system better for all.
