I got a response to a parliamentary question that indicated that the State Claims Agency received 90 claims in regard to Covid-19. They relate to service unit staff etc. It states in the reply that the State Claims Agency does not disclose its contingent liability figures for reasons of litigation sensitivity for a particular series or cohort of similar claims. However, it does presumably have a contingent liability. I am slightly confused about the issue. Does each Department hand over responsibility to the State Claims Agency?
