Dear Requestor
Further to my earlier FOIA response (attached) I have now been advised that whilst the Trust is in the process of drafting a revised Claims policy a previously ratified policy exists and I attach a copy for you.
Further to your additional queries below (10/05). In light of your previous request I asked the Medio-Legal Dept for comments however they have advised me that they are clear on what information you require therefore are you able to be more specific?
From lunch-time today I will be away from the office for a few days & therefore please copy any response to Jackie Knowles.
Kind Regards
Catherine

Dear Warwick, Catherine,
No just the number of claims for the above per month . But it is sickness related
Yours sincerely,

Further to your comments below.
We have previously provided the number of medico-legal claims. Unfortunately, I am have yet to precisely locate anyone within the Trust who may have detailed knowledge of:
Permanent Injury Benefit
Temporary Injury Benefit
However, I am making further enquiries via Finance/Payroll/HR and will update you when I have further information .
In the interim I have searched our Internet; page 67 of the attached policy does refer to this matter.
Is there any further information you could provide please do not hesitate in contacting me.
Kind Regards
Catherine

Is this the hospital that refused a patient an operation, because it chose not to follow NICE on obesity guidance?
