Ms Angela Denning:

We have prepared to meet the deadline in that we have increased staffing in the office on our side and so on.

The President of the High Court has appointed additional judges to the list to try to meet the deadline. There is a challenge in the flood of late applications but we expected that. It is just a matter now of seeing how things will go. If required, I can direct additional resources to the office. Capacity on the judicial side is something else. We expect to see constraints within the wider system in terms of medical visitors, reporting and so on. We will have to see how it goes.
