OXFORDSHIRE paid more for mistakes and blunders than any other hospital authority last year, as cases rocketed 1,000 per cent in under a decade.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust paid out ?24.4m in 2012/13, up from ?2.3m in 2003/04, when figures were first published.

It means ?113.7m has been paid out over the 10 years.

New trust claims rose from 15 in 2003/04 to 84 last year, though the latest claims are unlikely to yet be among the payouts and not all will get cash.
