The above question is one that understandably concerns people who are considering bringing a medical negligence claim.
This type of legal claim can take a long time to resolve. Although not always the case, it is not uncommon for cases to take several years to conclude. Some patients will require continuing medical care or treatment during this time.
We heard from the BBC news today that a report that they had finally gained access to, revealed a lack of trust and low staff morale contributing to a series of problems in maternity care at North Devon Health Care NHS Trust between 2013 and 2018.
The Trust (which the Care Quality Commission rates as “Requiring Improvement”) manages five different hospitals. The BBC article startlingly sets out that from as long ago as 2015 the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists were reviewing maternity care, amid "concerns over the working culture".
We recently heard first-hand about the life-saving work being undertaken by the UK Sepsis Trust. As part of its programme to raise awareness, the Trust provided a compelling presentation to a large audience at Kingsley Napley.
