As independent contractors, general practitioners (GPs) are responsible for meeting the costs of their own medical indemnity cover.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Earlier this year NHS England introduced a short-term pilot scheme which reimbursed the additional indemnity costs resulting from undertaking additional sessions in Out of Hours care settings.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
GPs are not eligible to join the NHS Litigation Authority\u2019s Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts, unless they are employed directly by a National Health Service trust. GPs are self-employed and independent practitioners.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
GPs are of course able to purchase cover from one of the medical defence unions.<\/p>

No assessment has been made of the effect of the operation of Class 313 trains on Southern services from Hove Station to West Coastway destinations on passenger satisfaction levels. However Transport Focus, who consult more than 50,000 passengers a year to produce the National Rail Passenger Survey, provide a network-wide picture of passengers' satisfaction with rail travel.<\/p>
The latest figures, from the Spring 2015 survey (http://data.transportfocus.org.uk/train/nps/question/service-overall/<\/a>) show that 76% of passengers were satisfied with their journey on Southern\u2019s Sussex Coast route, which incorporates the West Coastway services.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
