684. To ask the Minister for Health his views on the ongoing delays with payments to the victims of a person (details supplied); the status of the dispute between the HSE and the religious order regarding the party that should pay legal costs relating to the High Court case concerned; his views on whether this dispute should not represent an impediment to the immediate payment of the settlements agreed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Neither I nor the HSE are impeding or have impeded in any way the resolution of any of the proceedings referred to.
The HSE is engaged in a process seeking the recovery of legal costs due to it under an indemnity agreement; however this process presents no obstacle to the claims being settled or payments being made under settlement agreements.
