In the report of the strategic review, which was published towards the end of 2014, some 50% of the recommendations were particular to the Probation Service. Mr. Geiran indicated in his opening statement that the service is on track in implementing them. Are there specific obstacles to any of those that it has not yet been able to introduce? Are there any legislative, regulatory or resourcing needs that need to be met in order to ensure that the recommendations can be introduced and implemented? We will be producing a report for the Minister with recommendations. We are always very anxious to see that they are activated. Could Mr. Geiran indicate whether there are any particular reasons why, at this stage, any of those recommendations have not yet been implemented?
