We are taking a number of actions in this regard. The Deputy will be familiar with the new personal injury guidelines that have just been agreed by the Judicial Council. We anticipate that this guidance will bring down awards and should, therefore, also bring down premiums. We are advancing the Criminal Justice (Perjury and Related Offences) Bill 2018 to enable us to take a harder line against people who make bogus or exaggerated claims. We are also reviewing the duty of care legislation to rebalance the responsibility in a way that ensures a fair balance between community centres, for example, and other businesses and people who might sustain injury. There is a list of actions under the action plan for insurance.
