HC Deb 20 June 1994 vol 245 c37W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what funds his Department has available for statutory or non-statutory contingent liabilities for claims of medical or surgical negligence against GP fundholders.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

None of the Welsh Office funds are available to meet liabilities for claims of clinical negligence against GP fundholders. All general practitioners are obliged to make their own arrangements to cover such risks.
