Perhaps I am the one with the conflict of interest. What about nurses not employed in the State sector? Erroneous prescription of drugs and adverse side effects are two reasons doctors or their professional indemnity insurers have had to pay substantial sums of money. If these mistakes are made by nurses not employed by the State and if they are to be covered by professional indemnity insurance, nurses will pay insurance policies comparable to those of the most expensive sections of the medical profession until the matter was resolved recently. I wonder what happens in other countries. Perhaps those people do not sue but one will never stop Irish people from suing.
