The second report: The evolution of the Early Notification Scheme (NHS Resolution)

Summary

Maternity costs make up the largest cost to the NHS in value of claims. The Early Notification Scheme provides a faster and more caring response to families whose babies may have suffered severe harm.

'The second report: The evolution of the Early Notification Scheme' provides an overview of progress made since the report into the first year of the scheme, which was published in 2019. The report updates on the progress of the key recommendations which were made in the first report and reflects on modifications and improvements made to the scheme since its launch five years ago. It provides an analysis of the main clinical themes, based on a small cohort of cases, and makes recommendations to further improve outcomes for affected families.
