answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2018 answer text <p>As announced by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care last year, the government is developing a state-backed indemnity scheme for general practice. Our ambition is to provide a more stable and affordable system for general practice professionals. A state-backed scheme could provide financially sustainable cover for claims arising from the delivery of NHS primary medical care services.</p><p>This is a complex piece of work and decisions about pricing or costs are being considered. The Department for Health and Social Care has been working with the medical defence organisations that currently provide indemnity cover to GPs and with GP representatives on how a state-backed scheme could work. The government will continue to work with interested stakeholders, including GP representatives on the introduction of a scheme, including to explore how to fund new indemnity arrangements.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 20/06/2018 13:51:37 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
