Dr. Graham Love:

Certainly at the highest level, it is clear that there is a funding gap. The discussion moved on a number of years ago and there is an acceptance that there is a funding gap. It is obviously in the political domain at the moment as to how that gap is addressed and the components, whether it be the State, employers, students themselves, etc. That gap definitely needs to be addressed in a sustainable fashion to assist in solving the problems that are mentioned in the report.

There are some separate measures that are not related directly to funding and these are quoted regarding some of the management capability and other things that are in the report. That would happen in parallel to a degree, but some of them are happening now even with the resources available to set those institutions on a path in conjunction with the resources they have currently and hopefully in time with the extra resources that we hope will come when the larger funding issue is addressed.
