Mob18-022	Ten More Years of Maternity Claims: What Can We Learn from Another Decade of NHS Litigation Data About Mode of Delivery, Informed Consent, and Patient Safety?
	Quote:	Conclusions Obstetric litigation costs continue to escalate, driven overwhelmingly by labour-attributable harm. NHS England data show, for the first time, PCS tariff costs below PVB. Including indemnity under the primary eleven-code attribution, total system cost excess of PVB reaches approximately 1,0323,082 per birth (2024/25 cash to actuarial basis). Consent architecture for planned mode of delivery raises a potential inconsistency with Montgomery.
	Comment:	Shocking they would use this cost analysis as a basis for suggesting Cesarian Birth vs natural Vaginal birth, rather than using the information to improve actual medical practice around Natrual Vaginal Birth to prevent the "damage". What about the damage to the Mother for being cut open??? That affects all subsequent births
