We may see rising numbers of NHS delay compensation claims. Delayed treatment and delayed diagnosis are two of the most common types of medical negligence claims we represent people for, and a surge in these types of cases is a worry for all.
The fears of rising cases stems from recent findings published by the National Audit Office. They cited the issue that around 40% of medical negligence claims are for delayed diagnosis or treatment. Worryingly, they have also suggested that waiting time targets are still getting missed, and the problem is getting worse.
They said that the waiting list grew from 2.7 million to 4.2 million between 2013 and 2018 which shows the extent of the problem. This isn’t sustainable, and patient safety can be compromised when action isn’t taken quickly enough.

If you’re one of the hundreds of people who have suffered opacification problems after having surgically-implanted intraocular lenses from Oculentis, you’re not alone. As a result of phosphate that was once used in the manufacturing process that could be the cause of calcification issues, some people who have been fitted with specific lenses are having problems. Sometimes, the blind spots and cloudiness don’t appear until years after the surgery. When they do appear, it can be worrying for the patient, and you will likely need corrective surgery.

Can you claim for organ removal if the procedure was done by accident, or where the organ was removed due to a surgical error?
You can claim for claim for organ removal where there’s medical negligence involved. Although it’s rare, it can happen. There have been incidents where organs have been mistaken for tumours, or where they’re removed due to incidental damage during a procedure.
Surgery comes with inherent risks. That being said, patients should not expect to suffer as a result of an error by a medical professional.
