Mr. Drew Harris:

Serious investment in IT is under way. I have outlined a number of important projects, and in this year, going into the tail-end of next year, our members will see a big difference. The next bit of that project will be joining it up so that it is seamless in terms of the organisation and when we deal with something, it will start to automatically populate PULSE and the investigation management system with information, which will cut out the double key-in. There are other systems we have to look to as well, around custody management and other critical areas such as our fingerprint systems. We are doing a lot. We are probably at capacity in what we are doing in terms of ICT at the moment, but there are still a good solid five years of work and investment ahead of us.
