NHS Payouts Hit Record Highs—What’s Going On?

Did you see this? The NHS shelled out a jaw-dropping £2.8bn last year on negligence claims—most of it for maternity care mistakes. MPs are calling out ministers for letting costs spiral, with hundreds of millions going to lawyers instead of patients. Some hospitals are even cutting staff to save cash, while the government scrambles for a plan after axing NHS England. The whole thing feels like a mess, and no one seems to know what’s next for patients or staff. #NHS #Healthcare #Negligence #UKNews #PatientSafety #Health
