Change is always challenging and difficult and having read the report, I commend those who commissioned it and worked on it. It was very interesting and the commitment by the Minister to implement the recommendations must be welcomed because for too long in this country, value-for-money reports have been commissioned but the findings have not been implemented. I also welcome the commitment to have a look at it in 18 months' time. The Minister's opening statement indicates he has ordered a review in three years' time but his commitment today to consider it in 18 months' time is welcome. This brings me to a brief question, which is how quickly does the Minister plan to implement those recommendations in the report which he has accepted? Does he plan to move in the next few weeks to get it up and running?
