Freedom of information request details

FOI request date:

Service: Claims Management Specialty: Neurosurgery

The following information was requested:

I am contacting you from the Service Transformation team in NHS England Specialised Commissioning. We run over 20 national reviews/ transformation programmes on specialised services. This includes the Neuroscience Transformation Programme which covers neurology and neurosurgery. A recently published GIRFT report indicated a high litigation spend in neurosurgery and as part of the programme we would like to investigate this in order to highlight quality issues and inform pathway and configuration work.

I would therefore like to request the below litigation data. I’m aware it may not all be available but this would be the ideal.

All neurosurgery claims across all providers. For each claim, include:

  1. Trust code
  2. Specialty (guessing this will be down as neurosurgery?)
  3. Procedure
  4. Cost of claim
  5. Cause of claim

For each neuroscience centre (see below for a list of the neuroscience centres), all claims (not restricted by specialty), to include:

  1. Total number of claims at trust
  2. Total number of neurosurgery claims at trust
  3. Total cost of claims at trust
  4. Total cost of neurosurgery claims at trust

All of the above for the past 5 years

Let me know if you have any questions or require further info.
