I understand that. The agency helps to design it and when the project is up and running, it goes back to the Department. If the agency continues to provide advisory services for PPPs and the witnesses know that a post-project review was carried out by the Courts Service, would it not have made sense to read and study it for any lessons learned and to see if the objectives set out at the beginning were achieved? It is extraordinary that one review was carried out months or years ago and that nobody has chosen to even look at it. Do the witnesses understand that this is really a Pontius Pilate job of washing one's hands of it? Where is the joined-up public service? The witnesses have no idea if it achieved what they said it should when they handed it back. Am I missing something here?
