I thank the witnesses for attending. We all appreciate it is a difficult job when one is managing other people's money. If I were managing other people's money, I would be adopting a low-risk approach. I would not like to be exposing their capital award to considerable risk. Ms Mary Farrell gave a number of answers at the end of her presentation. She would like to see the Courts Service speeding up the change to the new system. The witnesses said in their presentation that there is an interdepartmental steering group working on the establishment of the decision support service. When will it be up and running for people such as Ms Farrell and others in the room?
