Maternity Services: Compensation
Asked by: Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat - Winchester) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to reform the compensation formula for maternity negligence compensation. Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The rising costs of clinical negligence claims against the National Health Service in England are of great concern to the Government. Costs have more than doubled in the last 10 years and are forecast to continue rising, putting further pressure on NHS finances. As announced in the 10-Year Health Plan for England, David Lock KC is providing expert policy advice on the rising legal costs of clinical negligence and how we can improve patients’ experience of claims. The review is ongoing, following initial advice to ministers and the recent National Audit Office’s report. The results of David Lock’s work will inform future policy making in this area. No decisions on policy have been taken at this point, and the Government will provide an update on the work done and next steps, in due course. |

Police: Suicide
Asked by: Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat - Winchester) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officer suicides were recorded in the last five years. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Office does not collect data on the number of suicides attended by police or the number of police suicides. Data on suicides by occupation have previously been published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) available here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/adhocs/2726suicidebyoccupationinenglandandwales2023and2024provisional. A National Action Plan for Suicide Prevention and Postvention in policing has been launched, which aims to reduce rates among the police workforce as well as enhancing data recording. The plan, which includes ensuring adequate training for the police workforce, emphasises a supportive environment that promotes mental health and combats stigma to ensure that those affected by suicide or suicidal thoughts can access appropriate and timely support. |

Young People: Heart Diseases
Asked by: Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat - Winchester) Monday 8th December 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has had discussions with the Secretary of Health and Social Care on the potential merits of introducing heart screening for young people participating in physical education in (a) schools and (b) universities. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The department has not held specific discussions with the Department for Health and Social Care on heart screening for young people participating in physical education. All pupils attending compulsory education are required to take part in physical education as part of the national curriculum. We expect schools to be aware of the risks associated with sporting activities and to provide a safe environment for pupils. The government recognises the value of physical activity in enhancing the health and wellbeing of young people. Universities are autonomous institutions and are responsible for decisions about the welfare and health of their students. |

Mental Health Services: Deaths
Asked by: Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat - Winchester) Monday 8th December 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many deaths have been recorded in inpatient mental health settings in each of the last five years. Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The information requested is not held centrally. All deaths of children and young people under the care of Tier 4 inpatient children and young people’s mental health services are routinely reported to the Department via NHS England. Such deaths are also notified to the Care Quality Commission and the National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health. Since 2019, there have been a total of 23 deaths of young people aged under 18 years old in contact with Tier 4 services, including those on home leave, or who had absconded. We are unable to provide the information broken down by year, as the annual data held by NHS England includes a small patient count of fewer than five cases which could lead to the identification of individuals. All providers are required to notify the Care Quality Commission of the deaths of patients detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. The following table shows the number of deaths of patients detained under the Mental Health Act notified to the Care Quality Commission in the last five years:
Source: the Care Quality Commission Notes:
This data is counts of notifications to the Care Quality Commission under Regulation 17 of the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009, Notification of death or unauthorised absence of a service user who is detained or liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. |
