On the State Claims Agency, we touched on thalidomide the last time the HSE was in. I would like to pursue the outstanding issue of the eight or nine people with it again because we posed a number of questions the last time that were not adequately answered. Of the remaining eight or nine thalidomide sufferers who are not being accepted as being part of the scheme, one is a judge and one works here in the Houses. It is not a significant sum of money and we could be more compassionate about how we are dealing with it. I do not know whether other members agree.
