From your annual report:

a. Whether it was upheld on appeal or settled by consent;
b. the body concerned (GMC etc);
c. the amount you claimed in costs;
d. the amount you were awarded in costs;
e. the amount you have received in costs;
f. whether the costs were recovered by the body concerned or from the individual.
2. If information is now available on the one case that was not decided, please provide.
3. Regarding the one appeal that was dismissed, please provide the following information:
a. the body concerned (GMC etc);
b. the amount in costs sought by the body concerned;
c. the amount the judge ordered that you pay, if disputed;
d. the amount you have paid.
