Ms Mary Higgins:

Yes. What I was trying to do was address directly the key concerns. The major concerns of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report were in relation to the lack of quotes and the lack of receipts. I was addressing myself to that in particular by way of explaining the difficulty that we have. Under the legislation we cannot go to suppliers directly and get receipts. Our solution to that is, as the Deputy has just discussed with the Chair, the board can make a decision in certain circumstances. If the board instruct that something can be done then we are not in breach of the legislation and that is what the board is proposing to do.
