Dr. Patrick Moran:

This is a huge area for us every year when we look at it. There is such a degree of complexity behind an awful lot of these metrics around the issues the Deputy mentioned, for example, what the denominator is or how something is being defined. There are whole programmes of research in respect of, probably, each one of these metrics. When we get the information in, as Ms O'Loughlin said, we review it to make sure that it makes sense and people are able to interpret it. However, the detail around the definitions and the level of granularity they are broken down into is something, in reality, that rests with the Department at present.
