The Department is implementing the three recommendations. The first recommendation says that an agreement shall be put in place. Part of what the first recommendation states is that there should be conditions to end the funding. That is what it says here. The Department did not implement that because it did not write back to Rehab. The second recommendation relates to monitoring and reporting how charitable lottery funds are allocated. The third recommendation refers to the internal audit recommendation that Rehab review all aspects of the fund-raising scheme to determine its viability and address the level of costs. It said that Rehab must seek to increase the surplus on lottery sales through a reduction in the associated costs. That is for Rehab. The fourth recommendation said that there was a lack of clarity on what constitutes an administrative expense and asks for the Department to clarify that.
