Deputy Troy asked about the child and family agency. We have obviously taken a progressive approach to the establishment of the agency already. The staff are already working to the new line management system. There were interviews for the senior staff, management team and new line management. It would not be feasible to have interviews for all 4,000 staff. I am sure the Deputy would agree. For the most part, the changes were internal. That is the reality of recruitment at present. I was pleased that we were able to recruit a good management team. That is the team that Mr. Gordon Jeyes is leading. I will ask the Secretary General to make some comments on the micro detail asked about in regard to management change concerning the establishment of the agency and board. His comments will cover some of the other questions also.
