Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It is something that we keep constantly under review. The particular difficulty in 2012 was that a sample was examined by internal auditors of the State Claims Agency and they compared the estimated liability with facts that were known. They identified that in 19 out of 105 cases, the potential liability was overstated. That was our particular concern at that time. The methodology is constantly under review within the State Claims Agency and we constantly keep it under review.
