Oral & Maxillo Facial Surgery
The following information was requested:
[Follow up to FOI_4864]
1) Breakdown of claims by year – yes we can supply this, in terms of primary causes and primary injuries against the oral and maxillofacial surgery speciality. We apologise for the delay in providing the additional information requested following your FOI_4864.
2) How many claims were settled out of court vs how many proceeded to court? – We do have status codes that can provide it settled with damages paid/damages settled out of Court and damages set by court, but we do not believe this will answer your request.
We will code cases that may have litigated and damages agreed in the litigation process but will only use set by court where the court has made the decision in terms of settlement level. This data may not be reliable in terms of your request.
Could you please provide the information requested in Q1 and Q2?

Please provide the following information per specialty for clinical negligence claims for 2017, 2018, 2019:

For your convenience, I have created an excel where all the data could be placed. Please fill in the attached excel.
Just in case, please find the definition of a case manager. It is a collaborative process which: assesses, plans, implements, co-ordinates, monitors and evaluates the options and services required to meet an individual’s health, social care, educational and employment needs, using communication and available resources to promote quality cost effective outcomes.
As well, please find the definition of an Immediate Needs Assessment: Immediate Needs Assessments (INAs) are classed as ‘treatment’ referrals. The intention is to identify the way forward from the point at which the report is instructed, in order to get the process of rehabilitation and/or treatment under way.
