"A bill of costs for more than £32,000 for a settlement of £3,500.
If that is not totally disproportionate amount for such a small settlement, then I would like to know what is. "

Quite right. The firm should have been reported to the SRA for having had the utter gall to over-charge . How can they justify to their client that they tried to rake in 10 times the amount which they obtained for him in damages. The court's ignore Jackson's costs reforms. The costs should be appropriate to the damages claimed. The Health Authority (paid for by you and me) should have statutory protection and have any costs awarded limited to 25% of damages recovered
