Mr. Fran Thompson:

There is a notification process under way.

Approximately 100,000 notifications are due to be made. They will be completed by April 2023. According to the latest figure I have, just over 32,000 notification letters have been issued. We have a technology-assisted process and a manual process for people to receive the notification and the data. A notification letter issues and people can then register on a portal or go back to a support desk and request the data that was stolen from them. To date, about 220 people have requested further information.
