Frankly, it is scandalous that the State Claims Agency does not do so because it has a duty of care to the taxpayer, like any of us. When there is an instance, particularly if there is ambiguity between a breach of duty or the other issues mentioned, it is vitally important that whatever consultant, administrator, doctor, nurse or orderly is involved be monitored in order that there is a cultural awareness that this happened in an institution and need never happen again. I ask the HSE the same question. Who among the witnesses is best placed to answer it? If an incident takes place as a result of which the State pays out without an admission of liability, what retraining, monitoring and supervision take place?
