The manner in which the investigations came to light will tell us something about the system in place for carrying out disciplinary investigations. If these cases came to light through a total review of, for example, sick leave, as opposed to somebody making a decision to carry out an investigation based on a belief that something was incorrect, that would be a totally different thing. Is a system in place to carry out a review? We want people who are out sick, who have been injured on the job, to be above reproach. If there is fraud in the system, it undermines that. What is the system in place to identify this?
