Mr. Dave Walsh:

Generally it is three, sometimes four. When we have two quorums of three we can actually have two meetings running concurrently. Because we are dealing with 3,000-odd cases a year the board would probably convene between 700 and 800 meetings a year. That requires meetings in the morning, in the afternoon and obviously if we have a full available board as in nine or ten people we can actually have three quorums at the same time.
