Budgeting and post-Apr 13 CFAs will start to have a significant effect in future financial years because of how long these cases take to conclude.

The NHS figures will be for their panel solicitors, but never used to include the NHSR's staff time/costs/salaries nor the hospital's own in-house legal teams.

The NHS can also help itself by not defending obviously negligent cases, and engaging in collaborative rehabilitation earlier on. It could also not be negligent in the first place.

Nevertheless, the truth won't get in the way of a good headline and I expect much Claimant-bashing shortly.
