Denham launch health facility
Lloyd's syndicate Denham has launched a new facility for medical malpractice/ public liability, which it claims is the first of its kind for ten years. The new operation, backed by a panel of Lloyd's underwriters, provides £20m limit of cover for all sectors of the healthcare market where an exposure to malpractice exists. This can include clinics, public and private hospitals, doctors and clinicians. Denham syndicate 990 underwriter Peter Watson said: "While we have been involved in market facilities in the past, this is the first new major malpractice facility to become available in something like 10 years within the Lloyd's market."
