DHSC reveals £1.5m civil case payouts last year

The Department of Health and Social Care says it paid out more than £1.5 million for medical negligence cases last year.

The figure has been revealed in a Freedom of Information request to the Department about civil claim payouts over the last five years.

In 2021 it paid £1.51 million in four cases compared to just £900,000 in 11 cases the year before.

But in its response, the DHSC says it doesn't know how many of those payouts were covered by secrecy clauses.
