Do we have a profile in terms of age group of the people who have left the system? Deputy Naughten mentioned that in the context of growing the market, especially among young people. The Health Insurance Authority's newsletter issued last summer stated that 61,000 had left the system in the past year. Do we have a breakdown of that figure because we are seeing an accelerated exodus and we must try to grow the market?
