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

Mr. Ciar?n Breen:

I am glad the Deputy mentioned that because it is a fact that, for example, over a number of years we have engaged with the HSE, particularly in relation to care packages for persons who are injured as a result of a medical negligence event. The idea we had was that you would provide early support, for example in cerebral palsy, to a baby leaving the hospital and its family and scale those up to make sure that families were getting the kind of support they need at the early stages. There was a lot of discussion about that over the years.
