Ms Deirdre Fagan:

I have figures to hand for 2020 and we can get the figures for 2019 and send them to the committee afterwards. With regard to fraudulent claims, 3,794 such claims were referred to our special investigation unit, with 1,348 investigations opened. The number of cases with a reduced settlement was just in excess of 1,118. Those are the numbers we investigated during the course of 2020.
