It has been reported that claims against the NHS have increased by over 20 per cent in just one year.
Figures from the NHS Litigation Authority show a 22 per cent rise in compensation pay-outs from the NHS, a figure which has almost doubled in five years.
The news follows the scandal in Mid-Staffordshire earlier this year and a subsequent report from Sir Bruce Keogh into hospital failings.
