To be clear, Mr. Breen is saying that he can reveal that there are 3,365 active claims for medical negligence generally, with an estimated liability for the State of €3.57 billion. While the 85 claims for CervicalCheck are included in that, Mr. Breen is not able to give us a breakdown of what the estimated liability for them will be. It goes back to the point that Teachta Connolly spoke about earlier. The cost of the service is €31 million.
