I will ask my final question, which is on the insertion of non-disclosure or confidentiality clauses. This is separate to the non-disclosure agreements with women whose smear tests returned false negatives. Where a sum is agreed and the State Claims Agency is the representative of the State, will Mr. Breen give us a sense of or data on how common it is for the State to insist on confidentiality clauses governing settlements and payouts, particularly in cases of medical negligence and other clinical cases?
