There are a number of Departments and agencies that come within the remit of the national shared services office. We have the global figure for the Departments in terms of overpayments but that figure may not be the full figure because there may be agencies and organisations that are funded by the Departments in respect of which there may also be overpayments. There are also Departments that are not covered by the national shared services office. We need to try to capture the full figure. I understand the Comptroller and Auditor General's point it may be difficult to do that, but that is the job of the committee. If we want the full figure we should get it. There might be a bit of work involved in getting it but it is not impossible to do it.
