    The UK government is considering reforms to the legal process for resolving clinical negligence claims after concluding that making care safer will not be enough to curb the burgeoning costs of compensation. The working group, which includes the Department of Health, the Ministry of Justice, and NHS Resolution, was set up after reports from the National Audit Office (NAO) and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) demanded a coordinated strategy across government to tackle the problem. The NAO report said that while the quality and safety of healthcare had improved or remained stable, the number of negligence claims had continued to rise.
