An investigation by Medical Negligence Assist revealed that the Royal Free London NHS Trust has the highest medical negligence payouts among 21 NHS trusts in London, totaling over £70 million since 2019. The investigation indicated that there have been over 905 claims of medical negligence involving children, leading to significant conditions such as brain damage and cerebral palsy. The total cost of compensation payouts in the last five years has exceeded £3 billion, highlighting severe implications for both victims and their families, including emotional and financial strains.
The investigation found that the consequence of clinical negligence can be life-changing for those affected but equally devastating for the families.
Death, brain damage, cerebral palsy, and bowel damage were among the conditions and injuries children sustained as a result of medical negligence.
