Mr. Pat Smyth:

The State has a longer-term cost in the form of the arrangements relating to its employees. As the Chairman mentioned, of all of the areas in which we are involved, working in and managing residential services, can be very challenging. There is a high rate of staff vacancy and sick leave. As we move into the next five years, we will ideally utilise the resources available through private arrangements and place them around kids at a more local level.
