Yes. The State Claims Agency has a system for monitoring and recording all of those. It is the national incident management system, NIMS. This is an issue to which we will return when the representatives from the State Claims Agency appear before us in a fortnight to discuss medical negligence.

In the meantime, I have given an undertaking to follow up on this matter. I will communicate further with the family I met during the summer in order to touch base with them before we make direct contact with the section 39 organisation. Deputy O'Connell suggested that we broaden our examination to include other matters. However, Deputy Cassells indicated that the Ombudsman has compiled a report. The first action we must take is to have that report circulated to members in order to discover whether it contains information on which we can follow up. We are not going to redo the Ombudsman's work.
