Mr. James Gorman:

We would not but we could seek to get figures on payments to the Chief State Solicitor's office. The kinds of accounts we have centrally held are called inactive accounts. They are dormant accounts where we cannot confirm that the person has passed away. We know those in care centres who have passed away but we would not have next-of-kin details. In that case it is an inactive account. The Chief State Solicitor's office will only take moneys where it can be confirmed the patient has passed away with no known next of kin.
