Earlier on, I asked about the issue of retaining cases. In the initial statement, Mr. Newham said that heads 15 and 16 will allow the board to assess injuries of a psychological nature and retain cases. Is there a time limit by which cases can be retained? Could this be indefinite? Could the officials tell us more about how that might work? Would somebody receive an interim payment and perhaps over a number of years if an injury developed, for example, if someone developed epilepsy as a result of a brain injury? Is that the kind of thing we are talking about?
