On that, there was something I raised and about which I was to come back to the Chairman. He left the issue open and I thank him for that. It relates to medical negligence and to the prior step where independent inquiries are carried out. I have gone back to check on this and I was to come back to the Chairman about it. I have asked a very straight question regarding Galway. Over a ten-year period, how many independent investigations were carried out? It is a simple question. I also asked about the cost of any such investigations. I got back a letter which said that information is not recorded.
