Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS staff have been prosecuted in relation to clinical negligence each year between 2019 and 2024.

NHS Resolution manages clinical negligence and other claims against the NHS in England. NHS Resolution does not hold the information requested. Criminal proceedings can arise either before, during or after damages have been paid, and are therefore not recorded by NHS Resolution. It does not manage criminal prosecutions as part of its indemnity schemes.
