MDU says only 15% of claims against doctors succeed An outdated and adversarial legal system is leading to doctors and patients having to endure considerable stress and anxiety caused by medical negligence claims, yet few succeed, the Medical Defence Union (MDU) has said.

The MDU, the UK's leading medical defence organisation, made the comments as it revealed in its Annual Report for 2016 that it successfully defended 85% of medical claims that closed last year.
