The Department of Health, on behalf of the four UK Health departments, has launched a consultation on legislation that would mean all regulated healthcare professionals have to hold indemnity or insurance to practise.

The vast majority of regulated healthcare professionals are in receipt of cover by virtue of their employer's liability, or via a professional body which offers an indemnity arrangement as a benefit of membership.
