- Abstract
A year after its launch, the results of the Department of Health & Social Care's (DHSC) consultation on 'appropriate clinical negligence cover' are still widely anticipated. In this article, we explore the benefits and disadvantages of regulated and discretionary indemnity cover as understood by the DHSC, the medical defence organisations (MDOs), insurance brokers and underwriters. We also turn to surgeons and clinicians with private practices to ask what they think about the current arrangements. Reforms to medical indemnity insurance forecast the passing of the UK's long-established medical defence and protection organisations.
