Mr. Ciarán Breen:
The application of the book of quantum relates more to personal injuries, which are standard personal injuries that result from motor accidents, employer liability accidents and public liability accidents. It is not framed for medical negligence injuries. For example, a fistula created following a surgical repair will not be found in the book of quantum. Its application to medical negligence is limited, if at all.
