That is the first point. Second, the nature of the service it provides has changed dramatically in recent years. Clients of the Legal Aid Board pay for its services. It is not a free legal aid service. It is being commodified into sections. For example, if one is getting an hour's consultation, one must attend with the cash to pay for it. As such, there is a particular onus on the Legal Aid Board.

I will ask two or three specific questions. Regarding the error that was made, the Comptroller and Auditor General clarified that he had asked for more information. Is that the part that is missing?
