As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible

The State Claims Agency (SCA) has a statutory remit to manage personal injury claims on behalf of State Authorities including the Health Service Executive.

The SCA has advised me that while it publishes aggregate information on claims, it does not publish a breakdown by individual hospital as to do so would effectively create a ‘league table’, which could lead to an unwarranted comparison, in the absence of proper context, between hospitals in relation to the provision of health services.
