Minister for Health

The State Claims Agency (SCA) has a statutory remit to manage personal injury claims, including claims in respect of clinical negligence, on behalf of Delegated State Authorities (DSA’s) including the Health Service Executive.

I understand from the State Claims Agency that the clinic is covered under the indemnification provided to the National Maternity Hospital.
