Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2015
482. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Health the number of legal cases currently ongoing against his Department, including State agencies under his aegis; the number of cases that took place during the years 2011 to 2014, inclusive; the cost of those that were contested and what damages were involved; the costs and damages of those that were settled; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43268/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested regarding the number of legal cases ongoing or which took place from 2011-2014 and associated costs is not immediately available and will be collated and forwarded to the Deputy at the earliest opportunity.
Details of legal cases taken by or against other bodies under the aegis of the Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly. I have requested the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy in this matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
