However, once there are claims, there is also a cost factor as well, which is what the Committee of Public Accounts is about. So, too, is how to prevent claims by making sure that we have adequate management in place. Are we now satisfied, in view of the increased demand - and in fairness there is only so much every staff member can do - that there is an adequate number of people in place and, where there is a deficiency, that there is an adequate level of controls and cross-checks in place to make sure that we do not have a repeat of what happened in CHO 4?
