State Claims Agency: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Ciarán Breen:
In many cases a letter might come to us in the first instance stating the lawyer sending it notes we act on behalf of whatever hospital is involved and that his or her client maintains a claim against us arising out of the circumstances presented in the letter. If we can, if it is possible, if we know the position on liability and if we have the expert evidence, our preference is to go to mediation before legal proceedings are issued.
