Public Accounts Committee

Matters related to Medical Negligence, Open Disclosure, Cervical Cancer and Thalidomide Litigation

9:00 am

Mr. Ciarán Breen:

In an individual case we might be given expert reports from the laboratory that it has relied on either to defend a case or admit liability. That is all we see. It is up to the laboratory after that as to whether it admits liability or liability for negligence or settles the cases without admission of liability. The laboratories are very much in the driving seat.
