Mr. Deering mentioned the health and the disability area. The Office of the Ombudsman's report, entitled "Grounded: Unequal Access for People With Disabilities to Personal Transport Schemes", referred to 887 cases. Am I correct in saying that 20% of the complaints that come to the office are about health?
