Perhaps I can ask about the precoded answers and the notes that people can use when filling in forms. This happened to me, which is why I feel I am an expert in the area. I am sure there will be a column for notes on the form, but unless we can be confident that that note is attached to something, it will not necessarily be picked up by the computer. I think that happened in my own case and we have seen that in our briefing from the lobby groups. Could the Minister look into that and write to me about the notes that are put in by people which may not be attached to a particular descriptor? In one of the assessments about the computer program, the notes were very different from just plain headings on the form. More notes on the form to help people to fill it out might be an answer. I would very much like to know whether the Minister can find out about the non-precoded answers.
