I hate to cut across Mr. Breen, but part of the agency's remit - he is absolutely correct - is that it learns from claims. If any of us undertook our learning on an individualised or case-by-case basis, our learning would be constrained by that. We would expect a group tasked with identifying risk to have the structural analysis ability to step back from cases and ask, given they are arising again and again, what the HSE is doing.
