Public Accounts Committee: Matters related to Medical Negligence, Open Disclosure, Cervical Cancer and Thalidomide Litigation (8 Nov 2018)

Catherine Murphy: I completely understand that the State Claims Agency must look at each claim. When the agency is looking at a catastrophic injury where 24-7 care will be required, an actuarial assessment would be done.
