The Minister has clearly stated that the residual claims have been reduced to over 2,000 and are being processed, and will be processed, within the next number of weeks. That is a great transformation when one considers the level of claims that are being processed. Procedures have also been put in place to deal with the backlog. She has also clearly stated that ongoing claims will be dealt with speedily and efficiently. I compliment the staff who have put a great amount of time and effort into the transformation process. They have done a massive amount of work and should be complimented.
