Mr. Ciar?n Breen:

Yes. The Comptroller and Auditor General can clarify this for me if necessary but I believe the figures he quotes are from the date of the lodging of the claim to the ultimate resolution of costs, for example, whereas the way we measure the longevity of a claim is from the lodging of the claim to when we pay compensation. The resolution of costs can often be a longer issue. Our own metric to look at how functional we are is whether we are delivering compensation within a certain window. I do not know if the Comptroller and Auditor General wants to comment on that.
