Can I just clarify this? We know why many people either did not apply or applied and did not appeal. We know that from the secret 2011 memo that was circulated. It stated very clearly why they did not. It stated that it was probably on the basis from the HSE that the payments did not come within the definition of the recoverable health charges. The Government conceded that 500 people who appealed actually did fit within the criteria of the scheme.
