Key Points Year End (31 st March 2012): At 31 st March 2012, 2,540 clinical/social care negligence cases remained open in Northern Ireland (Table 2, Figure 2). Position During the Year Ending 31 st March 2012: During 2011/12, 3,158 clinical/social care negligence cases were open at any stage, a decrease of 77 (2.4%), from 3,235 during 2010/11 (Table 1, Figure 1). In 2011/12, 580 new cases were opened, 522 cases were closed and 96 cases were settled (Table 2, Figures 3, 4 & 5). For those clinical/social care negligence cases where the general nature of the alleged incident was recorded in 2011/12, over a quarter (875, 27.7%) referred to Treatment (Table 6, Figure 8). In 2011/12, almost a fifth (538, 17.0%) of clinical/social care negligence cases had been treated in the Obstetrics specialty, a decrease of 58 (9.7%) from 2009/10 (Table 8, Figure 10). A total of 42.1 million has been paid to date on the 3,158 clinical/social care negligence cases which were open at any stage during 2011/12 (Table 9). Over 32.1 million was awarded in damages and almost 10.0 million was paid out in legal costs (defence and plaintiff) on clinical/social care negligence cases which were open at any stage during 2011/12 (Table 9). Almost half (49.2%, 20.7m), of the amount paid out on clinical/social care negligence cases open at any stage during 2011/12 referred to the Obstetrics speciality with over four fifths of this (83.9%, 17.4m) paid on damages (Table 10).

3 About the Hospital Information Branch (HIB) Hospital Information Branch is responsible for the collection, quality assurance, analysis and publication of timely and accurate information derived from a wide range of statistical information returns supplied by the Health & Social Care (HSC) Trusts and the HSC Board. Statistical information is collected routinely from a variety of electronic patient level administrative systems and pre-defined EXCEL survey return templates. The Head of the Branch is the Principal Statistician, Mrs. Laura Smyth. The Branch aims to present information in a meaningful way and provide advice on its uses to customers in the HSC Committee, Professional Advisory Groups, policy branches within the DHSSPS, other Health organisations, academia, private sector organisations, charity/voluntary organisations as well as the general public. The statistical information collected is used to contribute to major exercises such as reporting on the performance of the HSC system, other comparative performance exercises, target setting and monitoring, development of service frameworks as well as policy formulation and evaluation. In addition, the information is used in response to a significantly high volume of Parliamentary / Assembly questions and ad-hoc queries each year. Information is disseminated through a number of key statistical publications, including: Inpatient Activity, Outpatient Activity, Emergency Care, Mental Health & Learning Disability and Waiting Time Statistics (Inpatient, Outpatient, Diagnostics and Cancer). A detailed list of these publications is available from: Website: Clinical/Social Care Negligence Cases 2011/12 Page 3
4 Technical Notes This statistical release presents the findings of the annual collection of clinical/social care negligence cases open in Northern Ireland during the year ending 31 st March Information was provided by all Health & Social Care (HSC) Trusts including the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS), the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service (NIBTS), Legacy HSS Boards and Agencies. Data Collection The information presented within this release is based on the annual CN1 statistical return, which details the number of cases open during the financial year 2011/12. If no clinical/social care negligence cases were open at any time during the year, including those which were subsequently withdrawn or closed without payment of compensation against the HSC Trust, Legacy HSS Board or Agency, a nil return was submitted. For the 2011/12 CN1 return, a nil return was submitted by the Northern Ireland Guardian Ad Litem Agency (NIGALA). The CN1 statistical return was the first of two statistical returns introduced in June 2010 to monitor clinical/social care negligence cases in Northern Ireland. The CN1 return collects information on each case of clinical/social care negligence open during the year (1 st April 31 st March). It details information on: the type of case, gender of patient, patient postcode, date of incident, date of case, date settled, date closed, specialty to which case is associated, nature of the incident, legal stage, outcome of the case, amount paid in damages including defence and plaintiff costs, date of birth and date of death if appropriate. The second of these statistical returns on clinical/social care negligence (CN1a) is collected on a quarterly basis and presents a summary of activity during each quarter. It details the number of cases open on the last day of the quarter, new cases opened, cases closed and financial payments made during the quarter. Data providers are supplied with technical guidance documents outlining the methodologies that should be used in the collection, reporting and validation of each of these data returns. These documents can be accessed at the following link: rch/hospital-stats/hib_guidance_manuals.htm Rounding Percentages and financial information have been rounded to one decimal place and as a consequence these may not sum to the totals. Data Quality The data featured in this release has been provided by HSC Trusts, Legacy HSS Boards and Agency information staff and has been validated by Hospital Information Branch (HIB) prior to release. HIB carried out a detailed series of validations to verify that information was consistent both within and across returns. Queries arising from validation checks are returned for clarification and if required returns may be amended and/or resubmitted. It is important to note that some cases will have been settled and/or closed since 31 st March 2012 and these will be accounted for in the next publication for 2012/13. Main Uses of Data The main uses of these data are to monitor and report the details of alleged clinical/social care negligence cases open at any stage during the year, for corporate monitoring, to inform and monitor related policy, and to respond to assembly questions and ad-hoc queries from the public. Contextual Information for Using Complaint Statistics Readers should be aware that contextual information about Northern Ireland and the health services provided is available to read while using statistics from this publication. This includes information on the current and future population, structures within the Health and Social Care system, the vision for future health services as well as targets and indicators.

5 What is Clinical/Social Care Negligence? For the purposes of this statistical release, clinical/social care negligence is defined as: A breach of duty of care by members of the health care and social professions employed by HSC organisations or by others consequent on decisions or judgments made by members of those professions acting in the course of their employment, and which are admitted as negligent by the employer or determined as such through the legal process. Clinical/Social Care Negligence Cases Open During the Year Table 1 details the number of clinical/social care negligence cases which were open at any stage during each of the last three years. Readers should note that if a case was open in each of the last three years it will be counted in each year.

Since 2009/10, the Belfast HSC Trust reported the largest increase in the number of clinical/social care negligence cases open (83, 8.1%), from 1,025 to 1,108 in 2011/12 (Table 1, Figure 1). Over the last three years, the Belfast HSC Trust has reported the largest number of clinical/social care negligence cases open during each year, accounting for over a third (1,108, 35.1%) during 2011/12 (Table 1, Figure 1). During the last three years, the number of clinical/social care negligence cases open, which were the responsibility of the Legacy HSS Boards decreased or remained the same in all four Boards, with the Legacy Eastern HSS Board reporting the largest decrease (90, 53.6%), from 168 in 2009/10 to 78 in 2011/12 (Table 1, Figure 1). 1 Legacy HSS Boards are responsible for alleged incidents that occurred prior to 1996, regardless of the date the claim is made.

8 Number Outcome of Clinical/Social Care Negligence Cases (31 st March) The outcome of clinical/social care negligence cases open at any time during each of the last two years is detailed for the position at 31 st March each year. It is not possible to provide information on the outcome of cases open during 2009/10 due to a high level of uncoded records. However, following notable improvements in the coding of this data from 1 st April 2010 onwards, it is possible to present the outcome of cases at 31 st March for both 2011 and Cases Open An open case refers to any case open on the last day of the financial year. An open case refers to cases for which an official letter of notification of the intention to proceed with a case has been received, and which was not settled or closed on the last day of the year. At 31 st March 2012, 2,540 clinical/social care negligence cases remained open in Northern Ireland. Across HSC Trusts, the number of cases open ranged from 931 in the Belfast HSC Trust to 11 in the NIAS/NIBTS. It should also be noted that at this time, 118 clinical/social care negligence cases which remained open were the responsibility of the Legacy HSS Boards (Table 2, Figure 2). Since 2010/11, the Belfast HSC Trust reported the largest increase in the number of clinical/social care negligence cases open at 31 st March (44, 5.0%), from 887 to 931 in 2011/12. During this time, the Legacy HSS Boards reported the largest decrease (64, 35.2%), from 182 to 118 in 2011/12 (Figure 2).

11 Year of Incident Table 3 details the number of clinical/social care negligence cases that were open at any stage during each of the last three years (2009/ /12), by the year in which the alleged incident occurred. Information on the date of the alleged incident was recorded for 98.4% of all clinical/social care negligence cases open in 2011/12 4, slightly higher than the proportion in 2010/11 (97.7%) (Table 3). It should be noted that clinical/social care negligence cases may not be lodged for several years after the date of the alleged incident. This would be expected in cases such as those relating to pregnancy and childbirth, where there may be a delay in the outcome of the disease or disorder.

A further 191 (6.0%) cases referred to incidents which occurred prior to 1993, of which 170 (89.0%) were the responsibility of the Legacy HSS Board (Table). Almost a fifth (605, 19.2%) of all cases which were open, referred to alleged incidents which took place over 10 years ago (Table 3). 4 Where the date of the alleged incident was not recorded, the year of incident has been recorded as unknown.

13 Age at Date of Alleged Incident 7 Table 5 presents information on the age group of the claimant at the time of the alleged incident, for all clinical/social care negligence cases open during the last three years. Age, at the time of the alleged incident, was available for 3,057 (96.8%) of all clinical/social care negligence cases open at any stage during 2011/12. The relevant HSC Trust/Legacy HSS Board may not have been informed of the date of birth of the patient or the date of the alleged incident initially and therefore age at the date of the alleged incident is unknown.

15 Nature of Alleged Incident 8 Table 6 details the number of clinical/social care negligence cases open at any stage during the last three years broken down by the nature of the alleged incident. The nature of the alleged incident was determined by data providers using the list provided in Appendix 1. If a number of these applied the most appropriate reason for the clinical/social care negligence case was recorded. The nature of the alleged incident was recorded in 2,959 (93.7%) of all clinical/social care negligence cases open at any stage during 2011/12 (Table 6). Table 6: Number of Clinical/Social Care Negligence Cases Open at any Stage, by Nature of Alleged Incident (2009/ /12) Nature of Incident Group Cases Open During Year 2009/ / /12 Number % Number % Number % % change 09/10-11/12 Admissions/Referral 9 0.3% % 9 0.3% 0.0% Assault (to patient & by patient) 7 0.2% 9 0.3% % 42.9% Consent/Failure to warn % % % -14.8% Diagnosis & Tests % % % 0.0% Discharge % % % 17.4% Facilities & Equipment % % % 84.2% Infections % % % -6.0% Level of Care/Supervision/Follow-up % % % 26.2% Medication/Bloods/Fluids % % % 6.3% Operation % % % -15.2% Pregnancy & Childbirth % % % -19.5% Treatment % % % 22.2% Unexpected death % % % -6.3% Other % % % 27.5% Unknown % % % -50.9% Total 3, % 3, % 3, % 0.0% For those clinical/social care negligence cases where the general nature of the alleged incident was recorded in 2011/12, over a quarter (875, 27.7%) referred to Treatment, 645 (20.4%) to Diagnosis & Tests and 267 (8.5%) to Operations (Table 6, Figure 8). Admissions/Referrals, Assaults (to patient and by patient), Consent/Failure to warn, Discharge and Unexpected Death accounted for less than 1% each of all clinical/social care negligence cases open during 2011/12 (Table 6, Figure 8). In 2011/12, almost a quarter (274, 24.7%) of clinical/social care negligence cases open in the Belfast HSC Trust related to Treatment, 152 (32.1%) for the Northern HSC Trust, 144 (30.3%) for the South Eastern HSC Trust, 98 (25.5%) for the Southern HSC Trust and 171 (34.5%) for the Western HSC Trust (Appendix 4). 8 A list of definitions of nature of alleged incident can be found at Appendix 1 and category groups at Appendix 2.
