State Claims Agency: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Ciarán Breen:

To qualify that further for the Senator, notwithstanding that that is the process of delegation, there is a very close relationship between us and all of our clients such as the HSE.

In any individual case we deal with a number of HSE personnel. We get medical records, discuss cases, meet doctors and take statements from the doctors involved in the cases, etc. There is quite a bit of interaction between the State Claims Agency and the HSE. That is true of all 146 State authorities.
