Michael McGrath

Question:

1386. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Health if the State Claims Agency had settled CervicalCheck claims prior to April 2018; if so, the details of same; if confidentiality clauses applied to such settlements; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32696/18]

Written answers

Minister for Health

The State Claims Agency (SCA), which manages claims on behalf of the HSE, has informed me that it has settled no claims prior to April 2018 in relation to CervicalCheck and, therefore, the issue of a confidentiality clause did not arise.
