Ms Paula Lyons:

Yes. Our position is we will attempt to recoup all moneys where we can. As I said, there may be circumstances where we cannot do so. I do not want to get into the individual detail of cases but there may be reasons why, at a point in time, a recoupment could be in a stalled state as opposed to being actively recouped. I reiterate for the reassurance of the committee that we are very much focused on a weekly basis on reviewing exactly where cases are at for different statuses and ensuring they are moving forward. The only legacy cases relate to Departments that would have migrated within 2017 where values are still outstanding for those cases.
