The figure should be inclusive of all legal costs, and any damages paid out to the claimant.
In a separate part of the request (schedule B)
Please provide the date that each of the trusts in the lists above became a member trust with NHS resolution.
In the last part of the request (section C) please can you clarify if an NHS Trust chooses not to be a member, who would hold the data relating to the claim in terms of the total clinical negligence spent of that Trust? Obviously, the NHS trust would hold data for its own claims, but there would be a reporting mechanism somewhere within NHS England – and which department would hold the aggregate of all of this data? If the answer is still NHS Resolution – then in Schedule C please provide the aggregate amount for each of these

Payments for Clinical Claims (FOI_6250)

In line with the freedom of information act 2000 please provide the total amount in GBP paid out by the NHS for clinical negligence claims for each of the following years: 2015-16 to 2022-23, please include all legal fees within this total expenditure.
.
Please also list the three individual NHS trusts for each year listed above -that have the highest amount paid with respect to clinical negligence (and include each of these figures in your answers next to the NHS Trust responsible for that figure). For example:
2022-23 total £2.7 billion. 1) Frimley NHS Trust £35 million, Southampton NHS £28 million, Epsom £19 million etc but do this for each year listed above.
I understand this information is held by NHS Resolution, as many of the Trusts choose to allow NHS England to handle and settle their clinical negligence cases. In addition, your website clarifies that the information I am requesting is held by yourselves. I have seen no need to provide identification alongside my request (having read your guidance notes) because I am not asking for any specific personalised data relating to any individual.

I would like information on the top-25 highest-paid claimant firms by the sum of claimant costs paid as well as the number of claims settled and paid and separately the total damages paid out.
