Title
Clinical Liabilities, Non-Clinical Negligence Claims
Description
The Authority is responsible for managing claims against the NHS Primary & Secondary Care settings. However, the Authority is not an authorised regulated body and therefore cannot conduct litigation without the assistance of specialist legal advisors. The Authority received 13,784 clinical cases and 3,359 non-clinical cases in 2024/2025, which in the same period 13,382 clinical cases and 3,452 non-clinical cases were resolved. Working with the legal panel the Authority case handlers investigate liability and quantum, respond to allegations and negotiate settlement where appropriate. As a consequence of the current contract coming to its natural end, the Authority are in the process of developing an operating model to make best us of legal advisors and how they work in collaboration with Authority teams. Specifically, the estimated value for this project is subject to change and will be confirmed when the Authority issues a contract notice for this opportunity. Therefore, as the Authority continues to finalise its procurement documentation, in accordance with its internal governance processes, this will enable the opportunity to be advertised. It has been necessary to extend by one further period of one (1) year its current contract, which is aligned to the current terms of the original contract.
