Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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 State Claims Agency (SCA) has advised that it is not the practice of the SCA to seek or introduce NDA in cases handled by it save in very limited instances where an NDA is expressly requested by a plaintiff in any individual case.
The SCA does not formally record on its IT system the instances where an NDA has been expressly requested by a plaintiff ; therefore this information is not readily available.
