I propose to take Questions Nos. 496, 497, 498, 499, 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 507 and 510 together.

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

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. However, I have asked the State Claims Agency to provide this, and I understand that it will be collated shortly. I will respond directly to the Deputy on receipt of this.

Question No. 497 answered with Question No. 496.
