Professor Michael Breen:

We believe there are data within the NGOs. Being adequately resourced would help some of them to deal with their data and compare them to the protocols, as doing so would take a great deal of work, effort and time. The answer is that research is not being adequately resourced.

There is then the question of how long is a piece of string. This is an area that money can continue to be poured into. We stand over the statement that the level of hidden victims uncovered in the HTEPII report is a small proportion. It is certainly not the totality, and no one could reasonably say it was.
