There is a difference between what is selected as a problem and what is selected at random. The issue of 85% being paid has come up time and again. I understand the auditors do not accept that methodology, something with which I have sympathy. There are payment runs twice a week at the moment. It is expected that everybody will be paid as quickly as possible. I have been in that position down through the years and I appreciate it is a problem. We are trying to get through the list as quickly as possible. As far as I know, 92% of all ANC payments have been made and a similar percentage of BPS payments have been made.
