Clinical negligence claims in the maternity sector

We're waiting for Alex Clark to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

I would like to make the following Freedom of Information request:

Please provide me with an annual breakdown of the total number successful clinical negligence claims made against the trust in the maternity sector and the total value of the damages paid out in the maternity sector, broken down at a site-level.

I am specifically requesting the information at a site-level, not at the trust-level. That means the data you provide should be broken down by individual sites - e.g. separate data for a hospital the trust manages, as well as a midwife-led unit.

Please indicate if a site is a midwife-led unit i.e. freestanding from a hospital.

Please provide this data for the latest five years for which it is available.

The data could be provided to me in the format of two tables, one for total number of claims and a second for the total value of damages. Each row would represent a site, and each column would be a year.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Clark

Dear Alex

 

Further to your recent email acknowledged by the Trust on 23^rd September
2022.

 

We had originally stated that we would respond to your request by 20^th
October 2022. Please accept our apologies as we are unable to meet the
deadline as we are still awaiting some of the information requested from
the service/directorate.

 

We would hope however that the delay will not be too long and will
endeavour to have the information with you as soon as possible.

 

Should you have any questions or comments on the situation, please do not
hesitate to get in touch.

 

Kind regards
