Winter crisis and staff shortages could lead to NHS compensation claims
The usual, but seemingly worsening, winter crisis and staff shortages could lead to an increase in NHS compensation claims.
At the end of the day, victims of medical negligence are entitled to justice. If your life is turned upside down and you’re left with permanent problems and unable to work, you need to make a claim. It’s the only way to try and have some form of pre-incident normality, and compensation goes a long way.
It should be the case that NHS compensation claims stem from the odd error every now and then. However, continual funding problems could cause a surge in incidents; especially at this time of the year.
Are poor NHS systems endangering patients?
Poor and outdated NHS systems may be endangering patients as calls for the public health service to catch-up to the 21st century grow.
There have been a few NHS systems issues recently that have caused havoc. Last year’s WannaCry data breach caused huge problems for the NHS and for patients. Operations were cancelled, and services were closed. It all happened because the ransomware used in the attack targeted older systems. Older systems are often not as secure and no longer have patches available.
That’s just one example of poor NHS systems endangering patient safety. There are more.
Police dealing with mental health issues more and more
Instances of the police dealing with mental health issues is on the rise, and it’s an incredibly worrying trend with a dangerous underlying cause.
Information from a damning report has labelled the state of mental healthcare in the UK as a “national crisis”. The lack of funding and resources has led to the police “picking up the pieces” of a broken system.
The government’s austerity measures have been blamed, with the already overstretched police force now having to step in and deal with mental health issues more and more.
Ongoing NHS staff problems threaten patient safety
The ongoing NHS staff problems threaten patient safety, and the government need to act to avoid unnecessary litigation.
In an ideal world, we would have next to no need for victims of medical negligence to make claims for personal injury compensation. This can be achieved through a well-resourced and efficiently functioning national health service. But as we continue to see NHS staff problems to the point where it’s being seen as a “national emergency”, we’re likely going to see higher volumes of claims.
It really is a vicious cycle that needs to be stopped.
Cervical Screening Error hits 40,000 NHS patients
A cervical screening error is said to have affected around 40,000 patients in the UK after another blunder resulted in letters not being sent out.
The error included test results not going out to a number of patients, and it’s since been discovered that hundreds showed abnormal results.
The error has been blamed on Capita, who the NHS outsourced this work to. It’s not the first time Capita has been embroiled in blunders surrounding the work they do for the public sector. When it comes to the NHS, lives are literally at stake, and this cannot be allowed to happen.
Maternity unit closures an ongoing concern
It’s understood that a high volume of maternity unit closures are taking place as a result of staff shortages; potentially putting patients at risk.
Figures reportedly revealed that, last year, there appears to have been an alarming number of maternity unit closures caused by capacity issues. Reportedly, almost half of units across the country had to close their doors to new mothers at some point. Some of the units were also closed for longer than 24 hours as well.
An aging population of midwives and staff shortages is being blamed for the problem. When resources are an issue, quality of care can be badly affected.
eBay and other slammed over fake cancer zapper sales
eBay, Argos and Sainsburys have been slammed over online sales of so-called cancer zapper machines that are deemed to be fake.
The idea that a cancer zapper can cure the life-threatening disease came from a Canadian author who died of cancer. The author reportedly claimed that cancer was caused by parasites, and the use of a zapper could kill the parasites and cure the disease.
Needless to say, this method of treatment has been widely discredited. However, desperate patients have been lured into buying the devices online.
