Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: From the outset, I should state I believe in the State Claims Agency as regards the process by which it has to operate. It was actually my party that set it up. However I have a number of issues which are of concern to me. I will hold all of my questions regarding CervicalCheck, which will not surprise many people. My first question is for Mr. Dempsey. How stands the civil liability...

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: No, actually I wrote to the Minister for Health and have raised it many times. I sent the current Minister a draft Bill, which I had produced myself, for the first time in September 2020 and he was to revert to me. This Bill is absolutely critical. We really have no choice as legislators but to bring this forward. It is really through the Department of Health, working with the Department...

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: My second question is for Mr. Breen. I presume he remembers the famous letter he wrote to Mr. Stephen Brophy, principal officer of the clinical indemnity unit at the Department of Health on 6 November 2020. I will read it out. It states: Dear Stephen, The State Claims Agency will not raise any objection should a Claimant/Applicant at the CervicalCheck Tribunal, seek to sue the HSE as...

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: That is not what I asked. I asked Mr. Breen if the agency has honoured that letter. It is not about the mediation either.

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: Basically, the letter states that the State Claims Agency will not raise any objection should a claimant applicant at the CervicalCheck tribunal seek to sue the HSE as sole defendant. Has the agency honoured that?

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: In recent weeks, there has been a number of cases before the tribunal. Cases were taken where the State Claims Agency did consent. However, the laboratories did not consent. As a result, the State Claims Agency withdrew. Not only did it withdraw, but it challenged those women on statute, as being statute barred. This is despite the fact that the Minister had extended it twice. I flagged...

Alan Kelly: On 11 May 2018, the Taoiseach appeared on "RTÉ News: Six One" and stated that the women would not have to pursue the laboratories. I watched it live, and I saw what he said. I found what he said to be unbelievable. That this would be honoured had to drift through this letter, to the State Claims Agency. I believe that anybody reading this letter, and hearing what Mr. Breen has said,...
