Make Crown Indemnity available to all NHS GP practices in the UK.

Closed 3,207 signatures

What the petition asks

Over one in ten full-time GPs pay sums greater than £10,000 a year for medical indemnity, while most are charged between £5,000 and £10,000. Rising indemnity fees could force more GPs into early retirement. The rising costs could also dissuade younger doctors from entering general practice.
