I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department operates under State Indemnity, a self-insurance model whereby the State bears the financial risk associated with the cost of claims. The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) is designated as the State Claims Agency (SCA) when performing the claims and risk management functions delegated to it under the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act 2000.

Since the establishment of the SCA, the management of claims functions has been delegated to the Agency. It currently manages claims and risks on behalf of 139 delegated State Authorities.

I also wish to advise the Deputy that of the 18 bodies under the aegis of my Department, 15 have provided the information sought and this is set out in the following table.  It was not possible for the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, Irish Financial Services Appeal Tribunal and the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation to provide the information sought in the time available and therefore I will make arrangements to provide the outstanding information in line with Standing Orders.
