With thanks to Julie Somerville for drawing attention to the evaluation report published by NHS Resolution (UK). The organisation notes that in December 2016, NHS Resolution (known at the time as the NHS Litigation Authority) took the ground-breaking step of becoming one of the first indemnifiers in the UK to establish a mediation panel with the focus of resolving clinical negligence and personal injury compensation claims.
The evaluation report of about 18 pages provides an executive summary which indicates that mediation is proven to be an effective forum for claims resolution, with 74% of cases settled on or within 28 days of the mediation.
