Concerns remain about delays in the diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological cancer in Wales.

A recent follow-up report from the Senedd’s Health and Social Care Committee found that progress on improving waiting times and outcomes remains slow, with women continuing to experience some of the same challenges highlighted in its original 2023 report.

The report found that in October 2025, only 41% of patients with gynaecological cancers in Wales began treatment within the 62-day target timeframe from the point of suspicion.

Our latest article explores the concerns around delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis and women feeling that their symptoms have not been listened to, as well as the potential consequences of delays in treatment.

Boyes Turner has recovered compensation for clients who have suffered severe physical and psychological injury as a result of negligent delays in the diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological cancer.

Delays in maternity care can have life-changing consequences.

In this case, failures in telephone triage and further delays at hospital contributed to a delayed delivery. The child suffered a hypoxic ischaemic brain injury and was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

Our birth injury solicitors secured a 90% liability settlement and an interim payment to help meet the child’s immediate needs while the claim continues.

The Government’s proposed SEND reforms could bring significant changes to how Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) provision is arranged and challenged.

The current consultation closes at midday on 18th September 2026, giving families, professionals and organisations an opportunity to consider the proposals and make their views heard.

Daisy Fox Clarkin, Paralegal in our SEN team looks at the proposed changes to EOTAS, including the potential impact on families’ rights to challenge decisions, funding and the future of specialist provision.

A 76-year-old man has secured a £500,000 settlement after delays in diagnosing critical limb ischaemia led to the amputation of both his lower legs.

Despite repeatedly reporting worsening pain and other symptoms, failures to properly assess, diagnose and urgently refer him delayed the treatment he needed.

Our medical negligence team successfully secured compensation after the GP denied responsibility throughout the claim.

Meningitis remains one of the most feared infections affecting children, teenagers and young adults. It can develop rapidly, be fatal or leave survivors with life-changing consequences.

In light of the recent Kent meningitis outbreak, the importance of MenB vaccination has gained renewed national attention. For parents, teenagers and young people preparing to enter university or residential further education, understanding the latest recommendations and the importance of vaccination is essential.

In her latest article, Julie Marsh, Partner in our Medical Negligence team, explores what MenB is, its potential impact and the latest vaccination recommendations from the the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

Behind every maternal death is a family left to cope with the loss of a mother, partner or daughter.

With maternal deaths now at a 20-year high, serious questions remain about maternity safety and whether lessons from previous reviews are being acted upon.

Laura Hayes-Payne, Associate Solicitor in our Medical Negligence team, examines the evidence and recurring concerns across maternity services, and what recent reports tell us about the challenges facing maternity care.

£300,000 settlement secured following a delay in reporting an MRI scan that left a woman with cauda equina syndrome (CES) disability.

Our client’s MRI scan showed severe spinal stenosis and cauda equina nerve root compression, but it was not reported for two weeks. During this time, her symptoms deteriorated and she developed bladder and bowel problems.

She eventually underwent surgery but was left with ongoing pain, bowel, bladder and sexual dysfunction, as well as psychological injury.

Our specialist cauda equina solicitors secured a £300,000 settlement without the need for court proceedings. The NHS trust also offered our client a formal apology.

A £17.8 million* settlement has been secured for a child who was left with cerebral palsy and complex neurodevelopmental disabilities following a hypoxic brain injury at birth.

During the pregnancy, the child’s mother repeatedly raised concerns about being unable to deliver vaginally and requested a caesarean section due to her history of traumatic births. Her requests were refused.

During labour, the baby suffered a feto-maternal haemorrhage, leading to cardiac arrest and a reduction in the oxygen supply to his brain. Delays in delivery and resuscitation prolonged the period of hypoxia.

The settlement, approved by the court, provides a £4.85 million lump sum together with guaranteed, lifelong, tax-free annual payments of up to £281,320 to fund the extensive care and support he will require throughout his life.

£400,000 in interim payments was also secured during the claim to meet his urgent needs while his lifelong care and support requirements were assessed.

The case highlights the importance of securing appropriate compensation for children with complex, lifelong disabilities, particularly where significant litigation risks remain.

When a child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, families are often left with questions that deserve clear, evidence-based answers.

While cerebral palsy is not always the result of medical negligence, there are circumstances where substandard care may have contributed to a preventable injury. Establishing whether this is the case requires detailed analysis by independent medical experts.

In this latest insight, Vanessa Wand from our Medical Negligence team explains how medical experts assess the care provided during pregnancy, labour and delivery, and why their evidence is central to determining whether negligent treatment caused avoidable harm.

If you're concerned that your child's cerebral palsy may be linked to mistakes in their care, this article explains the process and what to expect.

The Government's renewed Women's Healthcare Strategy for England sets out a 10-year vision to improve women's health and address longstanding inequalities in care. Its ambitions include reducing waiting times for gynaecology services, improving access to contraception, strengthening informed consent and pain management during procedures, and advancing preventative care through initiatives focused on obesity, cervical cancer screening and genomic testing.

While these commitments represent an important step towards narrowing the gender health gap, their success will ultimately depend on effective implementation and ensuring women receive safe, timely and equitable care.

Hannah Lindley, Solicitor in our Medical Negligence team, explores the strategy's key priorities, what they could mean for patients and healthcare providers, and why turning policy into practice will be critical to improving outcomes.
