John Dennehy
Question:420 Mr. Dennehy asked the Minister for Health and Children if the State Claims Agency, in the course of its work regarding negligence claims against medical practitioners employed by the State, will deal with historic cases or only cases which originate after a particular date; if they are to deal with cases that occurred at a time when the State was assisting such medical practitioners with the payment of their insurance bills; if the State can make a claim in respect of these policies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
