Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

There are sanctions involved but it is about more than sanctions. To take one example, an issue in the past was late signing of the service level agreement, the key governance document between ourselves and the relevant voluntary body. We instituted a policy of withholding cash at a level of 20% from organisations, which has had a significant effect on improving the speed at which people will get their service level agreements signed. There are also a number of incidents based on internal audits where there may be a requirement to pursue a return of moneys and some of those are being progressed.
