So long as malpractice is all about culpable behaviour, fair enough. But we live in a world where things go wrong, and someone else isn't always to balme, and that is a truth that can get lost.

When something happens which means we need extra help, or extra resources, we should be able to get them as of right, and it shouldn't depend on whether someone can be blamed or not. Where a society fails to recognise that and to make adequate provision, that inevitably fuels the litigation culture.
