To clarify that chart, it presents some of the inspection rates as being over 100%. The total number of tenancies is given in the left-hand column. The number of active tenancies at any point in time might not be the total number of tenancies. Does that include the total number that have come into HAP and some that have gone out of HAP properties? When it is measured against the number of active tenancies at a point in time, the percentage is over 100% but if we were to look at the number of properties that were in HAP during the period, it might not have been over 100%. I find that unusual. Can Mr. McCarthy explain it?
