Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 June 2026
495. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Health the number of cases that have been brought against the State’s Claims Agency in relation to abortion provision in each year since 2018; the number of adverse incidents that have been recorded in relation to abortion provision in Ireland in each year since 2018. [48604/26]
View answerI have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy regarding the part of the question that relates to the number of adverse incidents.
The State Claims Agency (SCA) has a statutory remit to manage personal injury claims on behalf of State Authorities. The SCA has provided me with the information set out below.
The information contained within this document was extracted from NIMS, the National Incident Management System). This report is correct as of 23/06/26.
The SCA has two ongoing claims from persons alleging that their unborn baby was wrongfully diagnosed with a condition sufficient to bring them within the scope of the Health Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy Act 2018. It is inappropriate to provide the years of claims, as to do so could have the effect of identifying individual cases.
