 | A frightening picture for mothers to be |

| The article in The Times yesterday about NHS litigation costs highlighted some appalling figures. One was that errors during childbirth account for 50 per cent of the value of claims against the NHS. What a frightening picture for mothers to be. Instead of spinning the anti-lawyer story, perhaps they should try to stop ruining lives by negligent management of the birth process. What their story fails to reveal to a gullible public is that either all those claims either went to court and were tried by a judge, who decided that the doctors and nurses had been careless in their professional lives, or the NHS themselves had admitted, without going to court, that their staff had been careless. Careless in this context doesn’t just mean a tiny mistake – it means that those professionally qualified staff have behaved in a way which is outside the range of reasonable management. | |
