CJ Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 and next years premium? when does a insurance company ever lose long term? I agree, but next years premium isn't going to go up by £5m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 well the fact your older than me by 8 years does give you a head start Does that mean intelligence is measured by age and because CJ is older than you he's more intelligent?

Darren-K Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Does that mean intelligence is measured by age and because CJ is older than you he's more intelligent? I'm doomed.

Scooter Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've just done some fishing out of curiousity........... Quote from Surrey and Sussex NHS Trustaccounts "The NHS Litigation Authority (NHSLA) operates a risk pooling scheme under which the NHS Trust pays an annual contribution to the NHSLA which in return settles all clinical negligence claims. Although the NHSLA is administratively responsible for all clinical negligence cases the legal liability remains with the Trust. The total value of clinical negligence provisions carried by the NHSLA on behalf of the Trust is disclosed at note 16. Since financial responsibility for clinical negligence cases transferred to the NHSLA at 1 April 2002, the only charge to operating expenditure in relation to clinical negligence in 2006/07 relates to the Trust's contribution to the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts." From the NHSLA site How are CNST contributions set? (extracts from an article in Issue 28 of the NHSLA Review by Joe Monk, a Partner at Lane Clark & Peacock LLP) CNST is a pay-as-you-go scheme, which means that sufficient money is collected in each year to cover the claims paid during that year. By operating on this basis, no reserves need to be held to cover either the claims that have been reported, but not yet settled (the outstanding claims) or the claims that have been incurred but not reported (also known as the “IBNR”). The fundamental benefit of this is that it keeps more money in patient care, rather than in reserves. For the 2004/05 year, approximately £410 million is being collected from NHS Trusts and PCTs to pay for settlements made on clinical negligence claims during that time. Once we have estimated the total payments for the year, these are allocated between NHS Trusts and PCTs in as fair and equitable way as possible. An estimate of the clinical negligence risk each Trust represents is calculated and the £410m is allocated in proportion to that risk.

mattanna Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 she did not get mrsa she got mssa, sensitive to antibiotics, working in the nhs i can tell you staphyloccoccus is the most common bug carried on human skin , membranes etc, if you are well causes no probs, but if you get a large wound, i.e from surgery then it can cause infection. Biggest carrier is from visitors and pts themselves unfortunately, obviously hand washing by staff is essential, but bacteria is all around us, the saying a bit of muck does you no harm comes to mind, most peoples immune systems are not up to date, like running a brand new computer with windows 3.1, if you congregate people who are all ill and immunocomprimised in the same building the infection will in some cases get the better, incidentally as many people die from bugs treatable with antibiotics as those that are not, we try and keep every one going but sometimes it is not possible, bacteria have been on this earth a lot longer than any of us, and they can adapt almost instantly, plus leslie ash is a slag at least getting the infection kept her off the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Avoiding anything personal about Lesley Ash........how does the fact the £5M (or whatever it is) comes direct from the coffers change your view on the settlement, if at all?

mattanna Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I am a nurse and have been for 13 years, and have been an NHS manager, whole situation at the moment is difficult we are trying to do our best but it would appear evolution is winning, payment will be made from NHSLA which is a litigation authority, each trust pays a yearly fee in millions depending on how their assessment goes, but at the end of the day it does come from tax payer, the media do exaggerate the situation badly though, and although i feel very sorry for the likes of Blackie and his mum it is not the same everywhere, unfortunately staff are people too and are overstretched, wards at my hospital are running with 2 trained nurses for 50 patients. Our intensive care has been told to make cost improvements of £308,000 this year, so £25,000 a month, we cannot manage on what we are spending now let alone save any, the figure rises yearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
