Welcome to The NHS Litigation Authority website
The NHSLA handles negligence claims and works to improve risk management practices in the NHS.
We are also responsible for resolving disputes between practitioners and primary care trusts, giving advice to the NHS on human rights case law and handling equal pay claims on behalf of the NHS.
More information about our work is available in our current Annual Report and in our Factsheet series.
