FOI request date:
The following information was requested:
I’d like to request under FOI 2000:
- The number of lawsuits involving a coil – by which I mean all hormonal and non-hormonal forms available on the NHS – brought against NHS GPs since NHS resolution took over responsibility for dealing with these cases
- I would like to know, of those total lawsuits, how many involved: uterine perforation, a doctor failing to remove a coil before inserting another, a woman becoming pregnant after a possible error with her coil, incorrect fitting, a failure to identify pregnancy, and any other relevant categories where the reason is stated
- I would like to know the number of those cases which resulted in compensation, the average compensation granted and the total compensation paid per year since your records began
