Public Accounts Committee

2021 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency: Discussion
Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021

9:30 am

Dr. Cathal O'Keeffe:

We have a process of continuous engagement with the HSE both at a corporate level and at an individual hospital level. For example, at the individual hospital level, very often we are discussing with the hospital the claim that has arisen, the issues that have arisen in relation to that claim, and seeking reassurance from the hospital that measures are in place to mitigate those risks. In certain circumstances, we will make specific recommendations or ask the hospital to do specific things. We will track the implementation of those recommendations.
