Mr. Robert Watt:

Obviously, with regard to negligence cases, individuals who feel harm has been done to them by the system are entitled to take cases. The Deputy is aware of that. The State is then in the position to make its case. A report into the management of negligence cases by Mr. Justice Charles Meenan, published I believe in 2019 - I cannot recall the exact date - set out recommendations. The Government announced last week a further review into the question of medical negligence and how we can address the rising costs of these cases. Dr. Rhona Mahony is chairing that group for the Government. The Deputy's suggestion is being followed up.
