On clinical negligence, one could draw from it that people are either taking more litigation against the health service or there is an issue with the service. The figures are quite unbelievable. Is it the situation that doctors and medical professionals are under such pressure in respect of resources that they are making more mistakes? We understand mistakes happen in health services but there has to be a reason all this is happening where, over the past decade, this has shot up from €80 million €530 million. There has to be a reason.
