The rise to £713 million is almost double this year's bill of £396 million and will take up almost a third of the additional funding hospitals will receive.
Shadow Health Minister Mark Simmonds said the current "inefficient system" incurred "vast legal costs" for NHS Trusts.

And those are just the one's who complained.
Some people have such a dependancy on their Doc that they would never speak out.
Shocking!!
I expect the government to change the law to stop people suing over the ration of healthcare they are doled out.
Hi
I Just came across to your blog and reading your post .you are discussing about " NHS negligence costs" It is very impressive me
NHS negligence claims are currently higher than they have ever been and are rumoured to be costing the tax payer £4.4 Billion each year and this figure is likely to continue to increase unless radical changes are made to the healthcare system in the UK.Statistics published by the British Medical Journal calculate that one in ten patients admitted to NHS hospitals will fall victim to medical injury, which have now become Britains fourth biggest killer. These errors include missed diagnoses, slip-ups during operations, failure to identify the risks of procedures and poor or inadequate treatment.
