I will follow up on the State claims issue. Is it recurring with the same medical officials or the same hospitals? Is there any pattern? Is there more than one claim against one individual? If there is, is there a system in place for that? I give as an example a hospital or whatever where there are surgeries that have to be repeated because there were mistakes made or whatever else. I am not casting aspersions against any surgeon. If there is a pattern like that, does that show up within the current system? We are getting this overall big picture of the amount of claims and so on, but what I am trying to drill down into is whether the system picks up if there is a particular problem that is recurring or if there is a problem with one official.
