12/04/2024

With the announcement of the Spring Budget in March 2024 the Government has pledged to invest £35 million to boost maternity safety and improve maternity services across England, and a further £9 million to prevent avoidable brain injuries in childbirth.

NHS Resolution reports that maternity-related incidents accounted for 62% of the total number of clinical negligence claims brought against the NHS in the year 2021/2022.

In yesterday’s webinar, Lisa Dobie and Francesca Kolar brought attendees up to date in this developing area of clinical negligence, from both a Claimant and Defendant perspective.
