Answer
I am advised that the information the Member has requested is not easily accessible and therefore cannot be provided. However, I am informed that there have been approximately 700 cases settled in total, including the Crown Health Financing Agency claims settled in 2012. This number excludes Lake Alice Child and Adolescent Unit claims.
