In its last annual report the State Claims Agency recorded an estimated liability of €2.6 billion, of which approximately €2 billion was related to medical negligence cases.

It is therefore the biggest element, but it is not the only element. We will look at the full €2.6 billion, the main element of which relates to health, although there are other issues. We will examine the full State Claims Agency, not just the one key aspect.
