Mr. Ciarán Breen:
Currently, the contingent liability is €4.3 billion. That breaks down to €3 billion for clinical and €1 billion for general. Of the €3.2 billion that relates to clinical, €2.3 billion, or 70%, relates to catastrophic injury claims. Regarding mediation, in 2020, damages were paid in 25% of cases on the clinical side. In 2021, that has jumped to 37%.
