I should also congratulate the State Claims Agency, as it got a clean audit on everything from the Comptroller and Auditor General. Obviously, our questions do not pertain to the auditing of accounts; they pertain to the agency's role and function and queries on that. I will turn to the single recommendation from the Comptroller and Auditor General regarding the agency. It pertained to the 20% margin of comfort that the agency allowed, whereby it overestimates the liability by a 20% margin of comfort. The Comptroller and Auditor General recommended that the agency should change it and that it should be based more on statistical probabilities and by informed analysis of outcomes of previous cases. Has that recommendation been taken on board?
