Medical negligence in Surrey: The numbers

Medical negligence can happen in any healthcare setting, from hospitals to GP surgeries. While Surrey-specific data is limited, regional trends provide insight. In Greater Manchester, for example, NHS Resolution reported over 1,200 clinical negligence claims in 2023/24, with common issues including delayed diagnoses, surgical errors, and maternity care failures. Nationally, the NHS faced 13,784 new clinical negligence claims in the same period, with pay-outs totalling £2.8 billion. In Surrey, similar challenges arise, particularly in busy NHS trusts and private clinics, where stretched resources can lead to mistakes. These statistics underline the importance of seeking expert legal advice if you’ve been let down by healthcare professionals.

What qualifies as medical negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider breaches their duty of care, causing you harm. We handle a wide range of cases, including:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Such as missed cancers or infections, leading to worsened conditions.
• Surgical errors: Including mistakes during operations or unnecessary procedures.
• Maternity negligence: Harm to mothers or babies during pregnancy or childbirth.
• Medication errors: Incorrect prescriptions or dosages causing adverse effects.
• Failure to refer: Delays in specialist referrals, impacting treatment outcomes.

If you’re unsure whether your experience qualifies, we offer a free consultation to assess your case.
