Ms Paula Lyons:
Since last year there has been an improved system for overpayments of less than five days. It is by what is called auto-recoupment, so there is no negotiation process. That was introduced in July last year and it accounts for 36% of overpayments recouped. The ability to recoup more quickly will become a feature for us with that improvement.
