Before making a claim it is worth taking note of the following point.

Duty of care and service
A certain level of care / service must be provided by the NHS when dealing with a patient. If the duty of care falls below a certain level and this can be proven then the hospital in question might be deemed as negligent and in this case you may very well be due compensation.
Examples where duty of care and service may have fallen below accepted standards might be anything from poorly trained staff, incorrectly trained staff, bad hygiene / unsanitary washing, bathroom or even dining areas. Sometimes even mis-reporting, administrative / clerical errors that lead to diagnosis delay / failure can bring about a compensation claim.
