Yes, they are transferring, so they are obviously picked up for the transfer process.

I have some questions about how cases are processed, and they also relate to the issue of redeterminations, which I have previously pursued with you. How are any emerging terminal illness cases that are identified as part of the transfer process dealt with, given that the award under ADP can be more generous than PIP?

I have a question for Jim McBride. Right now, we are facing a perfect storm, with the pressures on capital budgets, high inflation, Brexit and a change to the housing asylum seekers policy. To what extent has historical policy set us up to fail?

Full stock transfer was imposed on Glasgow City Council many years ago. With the homeless duty on councils, the fact that they have no housing stock is a conflict. Can you give us any comment on that?

I will be following up with that, yes, but my first question is about terminally ill cases.
