Mr. Ciarán Breen:

I will give the Deputy an idea of the overall number of incidents, covering clinical and non-clinical. In 2018, there were 200,000 incidents on NIMS. There were 213,000 incidents in 2019, 211,000 in 2020 and there have been 150,000 to date this year. The Deputy is right. What normally happens is that when a clinical incident occurs in a hospital, particularly if it is a serious incident involving a child who, after birth, obviously has had some difficulties and is in a neonatal intensive care unit, for example, hospitals are generally good at advising such incidents to us. We pick up on them. As the Deputy says, they are a vital source of data in relation to lessons to be learned. Our clinical risk team is always engaged in an analysis of these incidents as they are notified to us.
