The Department does not hold information on the proportion of NHS foundation trusts that have taken out commercial building insurance to top up cover beyond the standard NHS Litigation Authority cover.

Ministers have had discussions with the insurance industry regarding the NHS Litigation Authority’s indemnity schemes, though not in relation to the proportion of NHS foundation trusts not covered beyond the standard NHS Litigation Authority cover.
