Missed Diagnosis – Haematology & Oncology (FOI_6682)
The following information was requested:
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act, please can you provide the following:
- Number of claims made for ‘failure/delay in diagnosis’ and/or ‘wrong diagnosis’ for FLT3-ITD mutations for the following years and by NHS trust 2019 to 2023
- Value of claims successfully closed or settled where the Primary Cause is failure/delay in diagnosis or wrong diagnosis.
Is it possible to identify from this information patients who are hemato-oncology? I assume these individuals are covered by haematology. But the “Failure/Delay Diagnosis” code would be appropriate for my information request.

Guy’s and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust (FOI_6673)
The following information was requested:
Follow up to: FOI_6592
Having reviewed the data released in this report, I’m asking for further clarifications based on the stipulated timeframes discussed in previous emails:
- According to your records, Table 1 provides a grand total of all clinical claims (26) recorded at Guy’s and St Thomas with specialty code: Oncology and Haematology. Table 2 details that out of 26 claims recorded, 19 were closed. Seven are currently active cases.
- Subsequent tables 3 and 4 detail causes and injuries sustained by patients with grand total 19. In Table 3, there is no mention of ‘sexual abuse’ as a cause which could mean that all injuries listed in Table 4 are all unrelated to sexual abuse.
Does this data provided include claims of sexual abuse at all? I wouldn’t want to assume that the seven active cases left from Table 1 relate exclusively to sexual abuse.
Please clarify this at your earliest convenience and get back to me.
[Please see attached PDF document for further clarification to the above request.]
