NHS Resolution: Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust
Annual claims, damages and legal costs per NHS trust, from NHS Resolution's published annual statistics.
Covers the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST), Existing Liabilities Scheme (ELS), and Risk Pooling Schemes for Trusts (RPST). Totals and charts are for clinical schemes (CNST and ELS). RPST is the non-clinical scheme and is listed in the table but not added to clinical figures. NHS Resolution prints "*" in place of a figure for fewer than five claims or under £5,000 paid: those are shown as * below and are not in any total. Claims notified in a year and payments made in a year are not the same cases. Claims are counts, and payment amounts relate to the reporting year. Trust size, case mix and the time between an incident, claim and settlement affect comparisons; these figures are not a measure of current clinical risk.
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust notified 9 new clinical negligence claims (CNST and ELS) in 2024-25, with £0.5M in damages paid.
1 row in this selection carry a figure NHS Resolution printed as "*" (fewer than five claims, or under £5,000 paid). Those figures are not in the totals, which are therefore lower bounds.
NHS and claimant legal costs are 59.1% of the total paid.
