Consider the figures outlined by the Department for the period 2009 to 2013. I presume the 2009 figure was arrived at during the period 2005 to 2010, when this system was being designed. How did the Department get the 2009 estimate so wrong, considering the figure that was actually forecast in 2013? How could the Department's forecast have been so wrong given that it spent the previous five years considering this?
