There is an increasing use of mediation to settle a wide range of disputes prior to court hearings and the expenditure of very large sums of money in legal costs.

The number of complaints to the NHS that can potentially lead to a court action for medical negligence is rapidly increasing. In addition disputes arise within the Health Service that require mediation skills to resolve.
