The following excerpt is from Muskopf v. Corning Hospital Dist., 11 Cal.Rptr. 89, 359 P.2d 457, 55 Cal.2d 211 (Cal. 1961):
Nor does our decision herein affect the settled rules of immunity of government officials for acts within the scope of their authority. Moreover, since defendant's employees are not immune from liability for their negligence in caring for and treating plaintiff, the question of the extent to which the state should be immune when its officers are is not involved in this case. See Lipman v. Brisbane Elementary School Dist., Cal., 11 Cal.Rptr. 97, 359 P.2d 465.
