A new form of insurance helps victims of medical malpractice fund legal redress. Legal experts will advise policyholders as to whether they have a case against health authorities following medical accidents or falling victim to hospital infections.
The service from Western Provident Association (WPA) is one of a wide range of benefits offered in a cash plan costing £15 a month. Its introduction follows the depressing news last month that more than a quarter of health trusts in England fail to meet basic hygiene standards.
Julian Stainton, chief executive of WPA, said: "Patients are worried and are becoming perceived as a mute ingredient of the NHS. Indeed, recent research intimated that 46 pc of NHS staff do not believe patients to be at the centre of what they do. My personal view is 'treat patients with disdain at your peril'.
