Mr. Ciarán Breen:

What happened was we sat down with our actuaries who advise us in respect of the general indemnity and clinical indemnity schemes and we looked at what medical defence organisations and insurers do. We felt that the provisioning system we use in estimating the contingent liability is the best system we can use to do that. We also got advices from our actuaries which indicated that our provisioning was good when we looked at outcomes in settled cases. Is the Comptroller and Auditor General happy with that?
