BILL
to

The Clinical Negligence Bill establishes reforms to how clinical negligence cases are handled in the NHS and private healthcare settings. It typically includes measures to streamline compensation processes, set liability thresholds, and potentially cap damages for certain types of claims. The bill aims to reduce litigation costs, speed up claim resolution, and make the system more predictable for both patients seeking compensation and healthcare providers managing risk.
