Need Some Help Regarding Medical Negligence

Stuffed

Basically I have copy of NHS notes which show known medical negligence over at least 18 years

Proof that NHS Foundation Trust knew and has also under spent funds, but refused on financial grounds.

Proof the NHS Partnership are using illegal financial assessments to create a charging scheme based on out of date allowance values.

 I need to find a Solicitor that can do this in Somerset and on legal aid or one of these schemes that claims it's fees on success from other party. 

 I have contacted the NHS Cheif exec and also Parlimentary ombudsman are involved-but it seems to move at a snails pace.

  • In which case, may I ask where you got your £25 figure from?

    £40 per week for a single person living alone is not unreasonably high, particularly given the recent rises in the cost of food.

    For example, see this aritcle from 2008: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jul/02/welfare

    A single person living in Britain needs to earn at least £13,400 a year before tax to afford a basic but acceptable standard of living, according to a report published by the Joseph Rowntree foundation...

    ...The panel decided that a single person without children needed to spend £158 a week, while a couple with two children needed £370 a week...

    ...How the weekly budgets break down:

    Single person, working age 
    Food and drink £48.07 
    Clothing and footwear £6.30 
    Housing costs £83.42 
    Household goods and services £19.64 
    Personal goods and services (inc health) £5.99 
    Transport £17.03 
    Social and cultural activities £29.73 

    Total £210.18

    ...

    Couple with two children
    Food and drink £103.53 
    Clothing and footwear £29.26 
    Housing costs £123.56 
    Household goods and services £27.11 
    Childcare £190.47 
    Personal goods and services (inc health) £27.39 
    Transport £35.02 
    Social and cultural activities £90.08 
    Total £626.43 

    Total excluding childcare £435.96

    And that was 4 years ago, before all the recent price increases (though, now I've found the 2010 and 2012 reports (see next post), it appears the figure went down and then back up).

    And note that a family of four spends only a little more than double what a single person spends, per week, on food.
