National Health Service summarised accounts for health authorities, NHS trusts and NHS Litigation Authority.
Changes to accounting policies mean that these amounts are not directly comparable.
The summarised accounts do not show, and it is therefore not possible to break down, separately what proportion of theses figures are for compensation payments and legal costs.
