I’m hoping to get hold of some data from your team about compensation claims due to delays to treatment.

Are you able to provide me with the following information:

  • Analysis of the primary causes / specialties for both delays to treatment and delays to diagnosis each year since 2010
  • The number and cost of diagnosis delay claims that were closed or settled with damages since 2010 (full settled value rather than amount already paid)
