Ms Caitr?ona O'Connor:
There was a question about numbers. The number of people with residency over six months is 19,000. There is an additional 15,000 mothers who have a period of time under six months and 24,000 children with a period of time under six months. The total number we estimate of those who are surviving and have spent time in one of these institutions is just over 58,000.
