Mr. Jim Breslin:
It is a combination. Now most of the claims are from the dependants of an individual who was infected. The next category are people who have lost their carer or a consort as a result of their death. Of that figure of 455 individuals there are only 75 primary claimants remaining. The Deputy's question is then whether the majority of these 75 individuals are mostly younger people.
