Resourcing is also a serious issue. It is estimated that 12,000 employer liability cases are taken per year and it will be extraordinarily difficult for the board to process that amount. The reason for establishing the board is to ensure cases are processed more quickly and efficiently and, as a consequence, claimants will be compensated quickly. A guarantee to this effect must be provided for in the legislation. Time limits should be set for the board's deliberations. It is not difficult to imagine the board taking years to consider and assess individual cases. For example, when the Offices of the Information Commission and Ombudsman were set up, it was expected cases would be dealt with quickly and efficiently but, subsequently, there was a realisation it would take much longer and it takes years for them to process some cases. I would not wish to see anything of that nature occurring in the PIAB, as could so easily happen. Many thousands of claims could be loaded on to the board haphazardly. In that event, I suspect the board would not be able to deal with the situation.
