Ms Susan Clyne:

Yes. We know that 50% of them have been paid for the ten-day breach. They have made their claim and been paid. The other 50% has not been paid. They will have to go back, send six emails and call the IMO - we will have to send another six emails - to get paid.

This is also something that is built into the system. When NCHDs move on from a hospital, the hospital they are in very often saves money because once they are gone, they will not be making that claim. People want to get on and sometimes they simply do not have the time.
