To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the liabilities faced by the NHS from unprocessed care home claims.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the liabilities faced by the NHS from unprocessed care home claims.
My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State has not made any assessment of the liabilities faced by the National Health Service from unprocessed care home claims.
However, on 15 March 2012, the Department announced deadlines for any new cases to the system which require assessment for NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC) funding, for previously unassessed periods of care, where there is evidence that the individual may have been eligible for NHS CHC. As a result of this, approximately 59,000 enquiries were received by the NHS. NHS England has made an assessment of the liability of these cases.

When operations finish, the licensees are responsible for safe decommissioning of the well(s) and for restoring the well-site to its previous state or a suitable condition for re-use. The Environment Agency also requires a site condition report to be submitted by the operator, demonstrating that the site is in a satisfactory state before allowing the operator to surrender its environmental permit.
If environmental damage occurs then, in accordance with statutory requirements and government policy, remediation of the damage will be dealt with under the main regimes for dealing with contamination. These are Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009 and Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. These regimes provide for the remediation of environmental damage and contaminated land (including water), and they apply to the extraction of both petroleum and deep geothermal energy.
The petroleum licence issued by DECC enables the Government to ensure that funds are available to discharge any liability for damage from activities under the licence. DECC accordingly assesses, before any petroleum licence is issued, whether a company has adequate financial capacity for its planned operations. DECC also checks at the drilling and, where relevant, production stage that the company has sufficient funding and appropriate insurance.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidance the Government provides to hospitals on how to mitigate the risk of (a) incidents where costs might exceed the £1 million NHS Litigation Authority Property Expenses Scheme limit and (b) other major incidents.

NHS trusts were no longer permitted to buy commercial insurance relating to employers’ and public liability, buildings and contents, and other miscellaneous risks (with a limited number of exemptions) from the introduction of the NHS Litigation Authority’s Liabilities to Third Parties and Property Expenses Schemes on 1 April 1999.
This followed extensive research into the scale, cost and financial benefits of NHS dependency on commercial insurance, which lead the Department to decide that better value for money across the National Health Service as a whole would be achieved if NHS trusts no longer insured commercially, but instead self-insured, through these risk pooling schemes, against non-clinical risks. Trusts themselves have since maintained a general prohibition on entering into insurance arrangements with commercial insurers in their individual standing financial instructions.
In terms of guidance, the Department publishes Health Building Notes which do not deal specifically with the specific kinds of incidents to which the question refers, but do emphasise that NHS estate has to be properly managed to comply with statute, the NHS Constitution, regulatory requirements, and good property management principles. If this is adhered to then the risk of damage to a NHS building should be greatly reduced.
