Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Damien McCallion:

I am not questioning that at all. I am saying that there is another factor, which is that we can only process a request when made on someone's behalf because we are trying to broker this in a way that makes sure we deal with the issues which were flagged earlier around guaranteeing the safety of the slide given that it is the key bit of physical evidence for the women in terms of any case they may take. In light of some of the concerns that have come in over the last four or five days we are going to write to everyone who has ever requested a record from us to confirm the process in order to make sure that there is absolutely no misunderstanding around it. To close out, a request for us is when we find out from a person's solicitors the company to which we are to transfer the slide and where the slide is to go. There may be some confusion on that.
