The actuarial estimates/predictions do not separately break out the estimated/predicted costs of maternity cases as a subset of total costs, but rather, they refer to the overall estimated/predicted cost of the Scheme, to include all clinical negligence cases across the range of clinical specialties.
The actuarially estimated cost of the Scheme, for each of the past three years was as follows:
