That is the whole point Mr. Watt. The families have a perception that this was the State again pushing back against its weakest citizens and trying to force families into settling cases because of the nature of the information being compiled and stored. When Mr. Watt states that service updates were given, therefore, I am asking him whether in all the cases, including in cases where maybe information did not come directly from the plaintiffs, the families are aware of all the information that was held or stored by the Department, in respect of all that information. Was any of that sensitive information, whether medical, educational or otherwise, held by the Department, information that families would not have been aware of?
