 | The NHS - making the same mistakes for decades |

| The NHS has a Government-funded scheme to deal with negligence claims for events before April 1995. Its payouts rose by 13% last year to £27.7m, which prompted the chief executive of AvMA to say "We, as a charity, have been going for 35 years and we still see the same mistakes, the same avoidable errors causing injury now as we did 35 years ago.". What a very sad indictment. It fits in with my experience over 25 years, which suggests the same. I remember writing an article many years ago, criticising the NHS for the birth injuries caused by its negligence, and the chairman wrote to me, objecting. He wouldn’t discuss the problem with me, though, when I invited him to do so. | |
