Very briefly before I bring in the next member, the Injuries Board is dealing with 33,500 claims and it says 1,500 get lost. That is a relatively small percentage and I am happy to discount that. The insurance consent to 18,000 being looked at and again some are lost there. Some 14,000 are not consented to. That would include those fraud claims. What other reasons are there that the insurance company would not consent? Do the witnesses have a figure or an idea? I suppose if they do not consent, they do not have to tell you why they consent. Do they?
