A law firm was yesterday accused of sending the NHS legal bills of up to 80 times the value of compensation claims awarded to patients.
Rapid Response Solicitors allegedly won £2,500 for a patient scalded by a hot drink – then billed the health service £58,000, more than 20 times the pay-out.

In one case the company apparently submitted a bill of £83,000 after winning a client a pay-out of just £1,000.
