Mr. Tony O'Brien:
The Deputy is correctly identifying that perhaps the more significant financial impact comes from the number of days outstanding for claims that have been validly submitted, many of which are in the category of pending claims which my colleague, Mr. Woods, has identified. Once the forms are signed, we have overcome an important hurdle. The next hurdle is getting the cash.
