Ms Louise McGirr:

Yes, many of them have but not 100% of them because KOSI gets back the applications from the employer. We are reliant on them for information coming through. As that comes through, we pay. A significant number of payments have been made. We cannot say the full total of people who are covered by it because it is reliant on the employer identifying them. The process of verification is very important. We found up to 90% of the applications have errors or duplication in them and double claims in some cases because of people moving around. It is important from a governance and a financial perspective that we have those procedures. The number of claims being paid is growing quickly.
