I thank the witnesses for their presentations and for dealing with the queries raised thus far. Mr. Breen said there are some 12,000 active claims. Of that number, how many does he expect will result in compensation being paid? What is the timeframe from when the NTMA first receives notice from a solicitor to getting a case off the table? How long is that taking? The other figure I am looking for is the amount that has been paid out per annum on medical negligence claims over the past five years. The overall figure is €4 billion in respect of pending claims, but how much was paid out per annum on claims going back five years and what is expected to be paid out in 2021?
