It is a wonderful scheme and people are interested in being involved. Questions were raised in the past that have been addressed. I have looked at the Official Report of previous meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts. It helps from a governance point of view to set a clear time limit and stick to it. When I hear a reference to staffing issues, my ears prick and I ask what is happening, why the process has not taken place within the stated time and where are we going in order that people can have trust in the system. Why was the staffing issue not sorted out?
