Here in the UK we are covered by crown indemnity
scheme - which means it is the hospital/NHS that picks
up the bill for any legal action! Personal insurance
only covers work down outside - private practice,
medical reports etc. So it is the same managers making
both decisions! Spend lots of money now to fully
implement guidelines or possibly spend lots later if
something goes wrong!
