Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Overspend on the Health Budget 2018: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

I have asked the State Claims Agency on a number of occasions - I am sure its representatives will be here in due course - whether the significant growth in our reimbursement of it in recent years is driven by the incidence of claims, in other words what we are doing around practice, or whether it is driven more by the operation of the legal system and how that process works. The answer has always been the latter and that is a result of how the legal process is operating rather than the incidence level.
