Early Notification compensation – Follow up (FOI_7944)

The following information was requested:

Follow up to FOI_7819

You highlight that in 176 cases financial compensation was provided, including interim payments. Do you know how many of these 176 cases (if any) were fatal cases, i.e. involved the death of a baby?

[On the 16 June, you requested]

Further to the above, would you also be able to let me know the breakdown of the £163,835,930 paid in compensation, i.e. how much of this was interim payments vs how much was for a final settlement?

[On the 18 June, you requested]

I am after the breakdown of the £163,835,930 paid in compensation by:
• The total paid to families who have received a final settlement (including any previous interim payments they have received)
• The total paid to families who have only received interim payments so far (i.e. not yet received a final settlement)

[On the 18 June, you requested]

I just had quick question about the following:
In respect of the cases identified at Question 7, the total amount of compensation paid is £163,835,930. This figure represents compensation paid up to 31 March 2026, including PPO settlements made up to that date, but excluding the capitalised value of any future PPO settlements.

I just wanted to double check that this should say 31 March 2026, rather than 31 March 2025.

Information re to lost years element of damages (FOI_7927)

The following information was requested:

Could you please provide data regarding clinical negligence claims handled by NHS Resolution that have included a “lost years” element of damages (claims for loss of earning capacity during a projected period of premature death caused by the alleged negligence)?

Specifically, I would like to request the following information broken down by financial year for the last ten available financial years (e.g., 2014/15 to 2024/25):

Total Number of Claims: The total number of settled clinical negligence claims where the claimant’s damages assessment included a calculation for “lost years” (i.e., where future loss of earnings/earning capacity was calculated for a period after the claimant’s projected date of death, or where a Harris v Empress Motors deduction for living expenses was applied).

Age Demographics: A breakdown of these claims by the age profile of the claimant at the time of settlement or judgment (specifically distinguishing between adult claimants and child/pediatric claimants under the age of 18).

Primary Injury/Specialty Breakdown: A breakdown of these “lost years” claims by specialty or injury type (e.g., Oncology/Delayed Diagnosis, Obstetrics/Birth Injury, Brain Injury).

Settlement Value: The total or average quantum (damages paid) for the claims identified in question 1.

Refinement Strategy to Assist with Cost Limits: If extracting this specific data directly from your main database poses a difficulty or risks exceeding the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the FOI Act, please prioritise and provide:

Data restricted only to high-value closed claims (e.g., claims valued over £1,000,000) where a reduction in life expectancy was coded or noted in the risk/claims management system.
