    If it’s free the patient should accept the risk of human error. This increasing trend in the UK towards litigating everything is an unwelcome import from the states imo.

    Ironically diverting a 1/3 of NHS funding towards litigation makes accidents more likely and patients less safe.

      It’s not free. We pay for the NHS through tax. It’s free at the point of use.

      This is a seemingly perfect dandy stance to take, right up until you can’t afford private health care and then you’re the victim of medical negligence.
