Public Accounts Committee

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The 105 breaks down as 55 that were conducted by our own international protection staff and 50 that were conducted by QTS Limited, which was the contracted inspection company we were using. I will have to establish the details, but it may just be the case that there is a backlog in inspection reports awaiting publication. We can clarify that.
