The Francis
Enquiry released in Feb 2013 painted a damning picture of the NHS. No fewer
than 290 recommendations were made in the report. The lack of standards exposed
during the investigation has inevitably led to accusations of negligence and
claims of poor care by NHS patients.
No matter
whether you’re treated in the private or public sector, everyone has a right to
a reasonable standard of care. In some cases, this hasn’t happened.
Fortunately, if you feel that you were poorly treated, there is something you
can do about it – you can make a claim for compensation. The claims procedure
can be complicated but with the help of an expert personal injury solicitor,
you can get what you’re owed.
