Missed Diagnosis – Haematology & Oncology (FOI_6682)

Freedom of information request details

FOI request date:

Service: Claims Management Cause: Failure/Delay Diagnosis, Wrong Diagnosis Specialty: Haematology, Oncology

The following information was requested:

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act, please can you provide the following:

  1. Number of claims made for ‘failure/delay in diagnosis’ and/or ‘wrong diagnosis’ for FLT3-ITD mutations for the following years and by NHS trust 2019 to 2023
  2. Value of claims successfully closed or settled where the Primary Cause is failure/delay in diagnosis or wrong diagnosis.

Is it possible to identify from this information patients who are hemato-oncology? I assume these individuals are covered by haematology. But the “Failure/Delay Diagnosis” code would be appropriate for my information request.
