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.
