Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

It is important to clarify that three external independent documentary counsel went through the 29 files that have been held in relation to the Department - those open files that were referred to on the "Prime Time" programme. They went through the provenance of the information that was on those files. It is clear that there is medical information there but that medical information has been obtained through the plaintiff or provided as part of the pleadings from plaintiffs.

We did, as we have outlined in the Secretary General's fact-finding report, find that there is one case - fairly recently, it has been publicised, obviously, on the "Prime Time" programme - where inadvertently some clinical information was provided by an individual clinician and that was held on a file.

Going back to files in the 1990s or approximately 30 years ago-----
