These increase means that for the first time, inpatient stays (per day) will be recoverable at over £1,000 and the cap on NHS Charges overall, will exceed £60,000.
Bearing in mind the mid-year increase seen in October 2023, this increase represents an increase of at least 4.55% since April 2023 and is reflective of the continued inflationary pressures.
Compensators will need to ensure that their reserves for accidents which occur on or after 1 April 2024 reflect the increased level of charges.
