However, if there is no record or cost analysis of the independent review, is somebody falling down somewhere? Mr. Breen cannot comment on it, but it certainly ends up on his desk because cases arise out of it.

I will finish with two final points. One concerns maternity. To clarify, there is the general indemnity scheme and the clinical indemnity scheme. The clinical scheme covers hospitals and acute hospitals, and the general indemnity scheme covers Tusla and primary care. Does the State Claims Agency, SCA, have a breakdown of these? A substantial amount of the claims arise under health, including acute hospitals, primary care and Tusla. Is that right?
