We will definitely be meeting again with representatives of both the State Claims Agency and the National Treasury Management Agency, NTMA, on which there is a chapter in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General with which we must deal. The NTMA was very quick in carrying out its business and publishing its annual report. Its representatives appeared before us prior to the summer break last year to discuss the annual report. The report of the Comptroller and Auditor General was released at the end of September. It contained a chapter on the NTMA and we need to bring back representatives of the agency to discuss it. A key element of that meeting will be a discussion with the State Claims Agency on issues to do with medical negligence. We have been assembling a lot of information, but we need to close off the issue as part of our next periodic report. We will set the date for the meeting as soon as possible.
