As head of the National Audit Office, Sir John Bourn knows a thing or two about medical negligence compensation claimants, the causes of such claims, the processes behind them and impact of litigation on the National Health Service.
As such, when he speaks everyone in the NHS Litigation Authority, the no win, no fee lawyer community and health policymakers listen.
His words in 2010 were heard carefully by all interested parties. Sir John said, "The human and financial costs of clinical negligence are enormous.
"Many claims have been outstanding for a long time, and the present system is a slow and inefficient way of resolving small and many medium-size claims."
In fact, a report drawn up by his organisation, the NAO, called for the NHS Litigation Authority to have a system which would both handle and prevent a backlog of clinical negligence claims. It also branded the current system as "slow and inefficient".
With this slowness and inefficiency in mind, Sir John Bourn added, "The Litigation Authority and the Legal Services Commission are making improvements to the way they handle claims.
"Implementation of our recommendations should provide patients with improved access to remedies, speed up settlements and cut legal costs."
YouClaim is a medical negligence compensation specialist which deals with all manner of claims, including accident and emergency cases, GP error cases and substandard or negligent cancer care cases. A spokesperson from the specialist comments, "Negligent medical care is traumatic enough as it is, so having a slow and inefficient litigation process can only compound that trauma.
"Until the system is reformed so that it better protects the interests of the claimant, claimants must place a huge reliance on the quality and experience of their legal representation."
