	question text	Her Majesty's Government what discussions, if any, they have held with representatives of NHS doctors regarding the potential impact of the increasing cost of medical indemnity.
	tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
	uin	HL250
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department is aware of pressures for doctors regarding the potential impact of the increasing cost of medical indemnity.</p><p> </p><p>General practitioners (GPs) are the National Health Service doctors who are most directly affected by the rising cost of medical indemnity. Doctors working in hospitals are not directly exposed to rising costs as their employers purchase indemnity to cover their activities. The Department has been in frequent dialogue with GP representative bodies on the subject of rising cost of indemnity, and this has been a subject of interest for some time. The Department has a series of regular scheduled meetings with GP representatives, and indemnity is frequently discussed at these meetings. In addition, it is not uncommon for discussions to take place outside of these scheduled meetings where either party has a reason to have a more specific conversation about indemnity costs.</p><p> </p><p>Indemnity for clinical negligence claims brought against NHS employed GPs, doctors and all NHS staff in England is provided by the employer organisation. All NHS providers of care are members of NHS Resolution’s Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts and claims for compensation will ordinarily be brought against the NHS care provider organisation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government has publically committed to ensuring that NHS Resolution has appropriate funding to cover changes to hospitals’ clinical negligence costs.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 12/07/2017 13:37:26 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
