Mr. Ciarán Breen:

The Deputy is probably referring to something slightly different. There is a fund in the health Vote for the Department of Health in relation to the satisfaction of clinical indemnity scheme and non-clinical indemnity scheme claims which affect the HSE.

What is being referred to in the letter is probably litigation against the HSE which does not relate to that fund. That is probably a correct interpretation. I do not know whether the Comptroller and Auditor General wishes to add to that.
