Share share Public Sector In the Republic of Ireland, the public sector manages its insurable risk in a number of different ways. Many government bodies receive a hold harmless indemnity and any loss or damage by way of property or liability risks are paid for out of public expenditure annual budgets. Others are given limited indemnities and may have to supplement this by buying commercial insurance. An example of this would be medical malpractice for public sector hospitals, which is provided under the clinical indemnity scheme and claims are managed by the State Claims Agency. Willis Towers Watson have an in-depth knowledge and experience of arranging insurance programmes for government-owned assets and liabilities. In this regard we provide a full range of services to support the placement of the programmes by way of claims management and risk management.
