To ask the Scottish Executive whether there are any proposals to make professional indemnity insurance a condition of registration for independent midwives.

Theregulation of midwives is a reserved matter. The Nursing and Midwifery Council,which is responsible for the regulation of all nurses and midwives, is a UKbody set up by Parliament under the Nursing and Midwifery Order (2001).
It is UK government policy that, through time, regulatedpractising healthcare professionals will be required to have adequate andappropriate indemnity cover as a condition of registration and continuedregistration with their professional bodies.
