General Practitioners: Insurance
(asked on 7th November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress he has made on the development of a state-backed indemnity scheme for GPs.
This question was answered on 14th November 2017
We recognise that the rising cost of indemnity cover is a source of concern for GPs. That is why, in October 2017, the Secretary of State announced that the Government would develop a state-backed indemnity scheme for general practice in England. This complex piece of work is at an early stage. We are working with GP representatives and others to develop our plans over the next 12-18 months.
