The Deputy is right regarding the accuracy of data and that is why I did that because I want accurate numbers as well. Whenever we debate, we always debate numbers and data and that is the space I like to be in because it, rather than anecdotes, can help drive better policy. The number removed from the March numbers is 578 comprising 247 adults and 331 dependants. I think I might have given that figure to the Deputy in a parliamentary question last week. That should align with that number. That was the number removed from the March figures.
