Litigation Cost

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Department of Health and Social Care should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Department of Health,

I am undertaking an analysis of the impact of litigation of the public sector and would like to know:

• What did you spend on litigation (i.e. lawyer fees and awards) in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
• How many lawsuits did you settle in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
• How many lawsuits did you have brought against you in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
• How many of the lawsuits brought against you were funded by third party litigation funders (hedge funds and other private investors) in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
I’d be grateful if this could be provided in written format. Thanks.

Kind regards,

Tom
