I will read the note for the Senator. The Courts Service has indicated to the Department of Justice and Equality that it will publish a more detailed breakdown of awards in injury cases in its 2018 annual report. The details of awards on medical negligence will be published separately. We have stripped those out to try to provide a better insight into personal injuries awards. The publication of more granular information with regard to personal injury awards will provide more clarity around the average amount awarded and any particular trends. The Courts Service has not published its 2018 report yet, but this information is in line to be published in that report.
