Medical negligence in Manchester: The stark statistics

Manchester’s busy hospitals and clinics are lifelines for many, but mistakes happen more often than you might think. According to NHS Resolution’s 2022/23 annual report, clinical negligence claims in England cost the NHS £2.7 billion, with a significant portion linked to busy urban trusts like those serving Greater Manchester. Locally, figures from the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (one of the largest in the region) show they handled over 200 clinical claims between 2018 and 2022, ranging from delayed diagnoses to treatment errors.

Nationally, the NHS reported 11,037 new clinical negligence claims in 2022/23 alone, and Manchester, as a major city, sees its share of these incidents. Misdiagnoses, surgical blunders, and birth injuries are among the most common, often leaving patients with lifelong consequences. These numbers aren’t just statistics, they represent real people whose lives have been turned upside down by avoidable errors.
