The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hold a scrutiny session on the costs of clinical negligence.
Senior health officials are likely to be asked at the session what the Government is doing to improve its initial responses to harm and overall patient safety, and what it can do to put the costs of clinical negligence on a more sustainable path. The session is also likely to see questioning around the Government’s 11 November announcement around redundancies in the NHS, in which the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) committed to abolishing around 18,000 administrative posts, saying that this will save more than £1bn to be redirected to frontline care.

Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.
