The Deputy will be aware that the State Claims Agency (SCA) has delegated authority to manage personal injury claims taken against the Minister for Defence.

With regard to the specific breakdown of personal injury claims requested by the Deputy, this information is not held by the Department in this format. The SCA has been contacted to ascertain if the information can be provided in the format requested and a response is awaited. I will revert to the Deputy when further information is made available to me.
