Claims for Alzheimer’s disease (FOI_7624)
The following information was requested:
How many negligence claims related to Alzheimer’s Disease has NHS Resolution received in the years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025? Can you please provide the number per year and not as a total.
If this is too much, could you please just provide the year 2024 and 2025.
Can you also provide how much has been paid out for these negligence claims for each year – 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025? Can you please provide the number per year and not as a total.
If this is too much, could you please just provide the year 2024 and 2025.
If it is possible to provide all of the above as a break down per NHS Trust that would be preferable, but if not then just the total numbers NHS Resolution has received would suffice.
If it is not possible to provide some of the data requested, I would be grateful if you could provide whichever elements of this FOI request are eligible for release.
10 South Colonnade London Hybrid Working (FOI_7622)
The following information was requested:
This is a follow up to FOI_7552.
To enable the Public Accounts Committee and others to understand the extent to which public money on office accommodation and HCAS is supported by effective management and assurance, please provide the following information.
1. HCAS expenditure, pay band and department for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, and limited to staff whose contractual base is 10 South Colonnade and who are eligible for London High-Cost Area Supplement (HCAS):
For each month, please provide:
a. Headcount by Agenda for Change pay band (or equivalent) and by department/directorate.
b. Total HCAS paid, broken down by pay band and department/directorate.
c. Average HCAS per full–time equivalent (FTE), by pay band and department/directorate. As
at 20 November 2025 (the date cited in FOI_7552), please provide the number of staff with a
London/hybrid contract whose contractual base is 10 South Colonnade, broken down by pay
band and department/directorate.
This will allow Parliament to see how recurrent HCAS expenditure at 10SC is distributed by
seniority and function.
2. Attendance versus contractual expectation
Please provide copies of the policies, guidance and standard contractual wording setting out the minimum office attendance requirements for staff based at 10 South Colonnade on hybrid contracts (for example, “one day per week”), including any expectations placed on managers to assure compliance.
For the cohort defined in section 1 (10SC contractual base and HCAS–eligible) and the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, and using whatever attendance monitoring systems you hold (e.g. pass swipes, desk bookings):
a. For each month, the number of distinct staff who attended 10SC at least once, by pay band and department/directorate.
b. For each month, the number of staff who met the contractual attendance requirement (for example, at least one day per week on average), by pay band and department/directorate.
c. For each month, the number of staff with zero recorded attendance at 10SC, by pay band and department/directorate.
d. A description of any limitations in the data (such as the exclusion of temporary passes or of swipes after a specified time, as noted in FOI_7552).
If you consider it is not possible to match attendance data to staff records (pay band, department, HCAS eligibility), please set out in detail what data is held and the legal or technical reasons why such matching cannot be undertaken, including reference to any data protection assessments.
3. Sickness, authorised absence and fair interpretation To ensure that non–attendance is not conflated with legitimate absence: For the same cohort and period, and for each month, please provide, broken down by pay band and department/directorate:
a. Total days of sickness absence.
b. Total days of other authorised absence (e.g. special leave, carers’ leave, study leave).
c. The number of staff with sickness absence of four weeks or more. Please explain whether, and how, sickness and other authorised absence are factored into any assessment of compliance with hybrid attendance requirements.
4. Management information, escalation and assurance Please provide any policies, procedures or guidance in force at any point since 1 April 2022 that describe:
a. How under–attendance or non–attendance against hybrid working requirements at 10 South Colonnade is monitored.
b. How such cases are escalated and addressed by managers, HR and senior leadership, including any sanctions or performance management processes. Since 1 April 2022, please provide copies of any regular reports, dashboards or other management information produced for senior managers that show hybrid attendance or utilisation of 10 South Colonnade, including any breakdown by department/directorate or pay band, where available. Since 1 April 2022, please provide copies of any papers, minutes or decisions considered by the Executive Team, Board or equivalent senior governance body in which:
a. low attendance or under–utilisation of 10 South Colonnade;
b. compliance or non–compliance with hybrid attendance requirements; or
c. the value for money of the 10SC lease and hybrid model
were discussed, together with any agreed remedial actions.
These materials will assist in assessing whether reasonable assurance has been taken over a significant and inflexible estate cost.
5. Value for money analysis of the lease Beyond the options appraisal undertaken prior to the move to 10 South Colonnade, have any analyses since 1 April 2024 examined:
a. average daily or weekly attendance at 10SC relative to the 168–desk capacity; and/or
b. the £1.7m lease and service cost expressed per average attendee, and per desk actually in regular use?
If so, please provide copies. If not, please confirm that no such analyses exist.
Claims arising from slips, trips and falls (FOI_7621)
The following information was requested:
In a previous FoI response [FoI: 5769] you provided a series of tables on various causes of personal injury to NHS staff and the value of those claims made under employers’ liability.
Two of the tables (Table 7 and Table 12) referred specifically to injury claims arising from slips, trips and falls.
Could you now provide me with a similar table to Table 7 but showing data for each of the following financial years: (2020/21) (2021/22) (2022/23) (2023/24) and (2024/25).
Could you also now provide me with a similar table to Table 12 but showing just the 20 organisations where there were the most payouts made in the five year period covering the following financial years (2020/21) (2021/22) (2022/23) (2023/24) and (2024/25).
Assault claims (FOI_7617)
The following information was requested:
Please answer the following questions for each of the last seven financial years, namely 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24.
- Please state how many claims were paid, what the damages were and the costs for each side, and the total cost to NHS Resolution for claims paid out under your employers’ liability where the claimants’ injuries were as a result of an assault?
- Please state how many claims were paid, what the damages were and the costs for each side, and the total cost to NHS Resolution for claims paid out under your public liability insurance where the claimants’ injuries were as a result of an assault? If possible, could you separate out the claims that were paid to patients for this reason?
Note: I am asking this question in relation to payments that were made in a financial year regardless of when the incident took place or when the initial claim was lodged with you.
Could you now supply me with similar data answering questions 1 and 2 again but this time in relation to claims paid out in the 2024/25 financial year?
In addition could you also provide me with a table showing the 20 NHS organisations that have paid out the greatest number of claims in the last five financial years (2020/21 to 2024/25 inclusive), as well as the damages paid out in those claims.

Invoices payment (FOI_7615)
The following information was requested:
This request is a follow up on FOI_7286.
I’m writing to ask whether any of the following fields (or similar) are already available within your system, and if so, whether you could add them to the dataset you previously provided under FOI reference FOI_7286 supplied on 13/08/2025.
Providing the date you received the invoice would be a really useful addition as would any of the other examples below:
· Invoice due date
· Invoice approved date
· Invoice payment terms
· Invoice query/dispute flag (e.g. Y/N)
· Reason for invoice query/dispute/delay
I want to emphasise that I do not wish to create any additional work. I’m only asking for this information if it already exists in your system and can be exported easily alongside the information you’ve already supplied.
If these fields are available and can be shared, I’d be very grateful if you could provide them (even if this means treating it as a new request). If not, please just let me know and I’ll make a note — there’s no need to take any further action.
(Please, see attached PDF for clarification.)
