While I understand that there is a backlog to deal with, there seems to be resistance - and I would be delighted to be corrected - to the implementation of this report. There seems to be an attitude that the Department will deal with and implement the report when it has completed the other work of issuing the 300 licences that it wants to issue. I would like reassurance that that is not the case and that there is a commitment to implement the recommendations of the report, notwithstanding that the Department needs to get the new licences issued.
