Ms Clare McGrath:

We conduct audits of locations. I think I might have written previously to the committee on the particular location to which the Chairman referred. We are satisfied with the independent expert's report commissioned by the county council in question in identifying that value for money was achieved in what was done. We concur with this. The works in question and the drawdown, irrespective of the amount, were signed off on by a director of services. We are satisfied in this instance that value for money was achieved. It may be that further improvements are required, but that does not necessarily mean that the additional works would be cost beneficial. What has been done is.
