Medical ‘blunders’ by KGH result in payouts totalling almost £28m Medical negligence claims against Kettering General Hospital have seen payouts worth almost £28m in the past five years.
The claims include £8,280,790.53 in damages alone during 2016-17, more than the total payouts for each of the four years before that.
KGH pays into an annual NHS scheme called the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts to cover such claims, meaning payments don’t come out of KGH’s funds.
All of the payouts were for incidents after 1995, with the total costs leaving KGH 100th out of 258 trusts when it comes to the amount settled. Northamptonshire Telegraph
