Looking at reports, there are not that many hospitals with dedicated staff to do the job.
I know that before I retired, a member from the records department would come to the ward to take details from any person the nurses identify
Private conversations with members of the records team who did this job, make me absolutely sure that very little(if any) of the money(at that time) was actually collected.

if that is the case then its absolutely disgusting. no point banging on about lack of money for the NHS when thousands of pounds is being thrown away like that. would hate to go down the privatisation line but i,m sure that a private company would chase any money that is owed to them.
