So what you're saying is that, if an institution is not doing the right thing and providing the information, the application will progress, and that's an incentive for them to be compliant. I can understand now what you're saying in terms of a survivor—that you don't want to have that same compulsion. I've already had survivors talk to me about filling in the form and being traumatised, and then having to take a break and maybe not engage for a while. There are potentially some issues where an application could be progressed without that information. So I'm wondering: is there going to be a process where an application could progress to a certain point without that information, and then stop until that information is gained?
