Public Accounts Committee

Matters related to Medical Negligence, Open Disclosure, Cervical Cancer and Thalidomide Litigation

9:00 am

Mr. Ciarán Breen:

On the litigation side of it, we do not have a figure on that right now because we do not quite know how the cases will present themselves. As I indicated, we have 85 cases now and, potentially, many more. The cases will present differently and attract different levels of compensation and there will be different costs.
