It is actually 59%, almost 60%, that the six hospitals are responsible for. Does the State Claims Agency have a league table? It has data on this. I welcome that Mr. Breen clarified that the agency goes back to the hospitals and goes through a process. It depends how extensive that is. Mr. Breen clarified that the agency has detailed data that shows the 59% and it has detailed data for all 19 hospitals. Are these matters taken up with each hospital management group? Does the State Claims Agency present the picture to each hospital of the data relating to it or to the group of hospitals of which it forms part for the previous five years, including what the level of claims is and how those claims arose? Are those issues discussed with the hospitals?
