Mr. Damien McCallion:

We sought the list from the State Claims Agency of all cases against all programmes. Dr. Coffey might elaborate on this. We have a list, but it does not give us details of individual cases. Therefore, we sought information from it on all other cases. I include the four to which the Deputy referred.

Earlier this morning, when Deputy Marc McSharry asked his question, we responded that, in regard to the other screening programmes, not only was the external review looking at it in terms of Dr. Scally's inquiry but that we were also bringing in some resources ourselves to look across all programmes across the entire area of quality and patient safety. It is just to make sure and satisfy ourselves that we can do it. We are still awaiting details of cases from the State Claims Agency.
