I refer to the disparity between section 38 and section 39 organisations, specifically those section 39 organisations providing State services for people with intellectual disabilities. Some time ago, section 38 organisations were taken under the remit of the State Claims Agency, SCA, along with all of the associated insurance matters. That transferred a large volume of work in respect of which insurance companies had been quoting. It transpired then that insurance premiums for section 39 organisations escalated. In the case of St. Joseph's in Charleville, the premium escalated from €150,000 to more than €500,000. Some scoping work has been done within the HSE and the Department of Health on the SCA taking over the insurance policies of section 39 organisations dealing with intellectual difficulties. Where is that process and what is happening in relation to it?

I am afraid that I do not have any information on that. The SCA falls under the remit of the Minister for Finance who is in Washington. I will ask him to correspond with the Deputy.
