Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many negligence claims arising from accident and emergency care cited delays in a) triage and b) admission as a contributing factor.

NHS Resolution is the body that manages clinical negligence and other claims against the National Health Service in England. They are unable to provide a full response to the questions in the format requested without commissioning work to review files manually, which would incur disproportionate cost. NHS Resolution has published a thematic review titled Learning from Emergency Medicine compensation claims - NHS Resolution, which may be helpful.
