It seems that this will be a different field in medical negligence involving insurance and hospital and doctor liability. If blanket cover was provided for everything on medical negligence, it might do a disservice to all persons involved. The aspect of it is outside the remit of the Bill. I ask the Minister to correct me if I am wrong. If blanket immunity from liability is provided, some situations will be missed. How can one provide for every situation? The Bill is about ensuring doctors have more authority and confidence in what they are doing and are covered legally.
