Minister for Health

The multi-annual data sought by the Deputy is not collected by my Department.

I have referred the question about personal injury claims relating to the HSE and HIQA to the State Claims Agency for compilation as it manages general insurance claims for both agencies. My Department will forward the data received from the State Claims Agency to the Deputy.

Details of claims for 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.
