Some €1.18 billion went to awards and legal fees. There must have been some learning from the scandal. Was a post-mortem conducted to identify what was handled well and what was not? We have a habit of creating problems or crises in the healthcare system and elsewhere and then resolving them. It is something of a national pastime. We do not always learn from the experiences of the past. Was a review conducted to consider what would be done differently if such a problem emerged now and what could have been done to avoid the problem?
