Access to justice

When something goes wrong in a clinical setting, patients and their families need to be treated fairly and get the support they need.

Fairness and justice

After avoidable harm in healthcare, patients deserve truth, accountability, and the assurance that lessons are learned. Seeking fair compensation and justice is also completely understandable.

We are actively identifying and dismantling the barriers to justice, ensuring safety failures are addressed and meaningful changes are implemented to protect future patients.

What we’re doing about key barriers to justice

  • Fixed recoverable costs in clinical negligence

    Our response to the Government’s consultation on limiting the legal costs claimant solicitors can recover when they win a clinical negligence case.

  • Alternatives to litigation

    Most people want to avoid legal action, so we’re exploring alternatives that are fair to the injured party and less stressful and expensive for everyone involved.

  • Specialist clinical negligence solicitors

    Find out about our Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel, populated with highly qualified and experience solicitors proven with clients who have suffered harm.
