NHS medical blunders dating back more than two decades are still costing millions of pounds a year in compensation, it has emerged.
The negligence bill for mistakes made before 1995 - mainly maternity failings - has begun to rise for the first time in five years.
A patients' charity said the figures showed just how long some families have to wait for payouts.
The NHS said it had taken steps to speed up the process.
