Okay. I have two other areas to discuss and I will perhaps come back on another occasion if we get another opportunity. I will use the recent controversy around medical cards in nursing homes as an example. We could see there was a strategy in terms of how the State pursued that particular policy. When it comes to a strategy where there are multiple liabilities, where do the Attorney General, the State Claims Agency and the Government all fit together in terms of the strategy that would be pursued? Does the State Claims Agency advise? Is it advised by the Attorney General or the Government on how to pursue claims? How does that work?
