Maybe we can have one last question. I apologise; some members are taking part in the Private Members' debate in the Dáil at the moment. The acting CEO of the HSE said last week that the health repayment scheme was not quite closed but largely closed. Mr. Watt spoke about those outstanding cases, of which there are possibly 200. Can he explain what is meant by not quite closed? Is it because of those cases that have possibly not been activated since 2017? Is that why the scheme is not quite closed?
