The committee will write separately to the HSE and to the State Claims Agency to ask for a detailed report on the issue. We will forward the transcript of this discussion relating to what we are asking for, and we will also ask about open disclosure, as the Deputies have requested. I remember the HSE telling the committee some years ago that it had this new policy and that the State Claims Agency was monitoring every case as soon as it happened. The cases were flagged up to the agency so it would know what was coming down the line so that it could learn more from the process, avoid future cases recurring and be a learning process. It was not a legal process about paying our money it is a learning process for prevention into the future. This is one aspect of the early disclosure and we would like to see how it is working out. Does Mr. McCarthy have any observations on this?
