There was much talk about soft tissue injury, whiplash and our payments being different from those in other countries. Do we have the same medical scan technology? Do we look at soft tissue injuries in this country in the same way as they are viewed in other countries? If not, why not? If so, why are our payouts so much higher? There appears to be an acceptance in the Minister of State's opening remarks that countries with high payouts will have high premiums. What can we do to reduce those payouts?
