Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Tyler of Enfield (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Bethell (Conservative) on Wednesday, 19 May 2021. The answer was corrected.
Care Homes: Insurance Indemnity
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the merits of underwriting insurance indemnity for all care homes on an equivalent basis to the National Health Service.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the differing indemnity and insurance arrangements for the NHS and for care homes reflect the different systems of securing health and adult social care. For the NHS, there are established indemnity schemes, administered by NHS Resolution. In the care sector, providers purchase insurance from commercial insurance markets. This is a requirement of registration with the Care Quality Commission.
