I have two brief questions for Ms Ball. For the benefit of those listening and tuning in to this hearing, will Ms Ball explain in layman's terms what monetary return the State will get from the roll-out, as opposed to the cost of it? Is she saying all of the scenarios at which PwC looked resulted in a positive benefit-cost ratio. Will she expand on that issue?

The second part of the work of PwC was on the non-quantifiable benefits of the roll-out. Ms Ball mentioned e-health and e-education. Will she expand on the work PwC did in those two areas?
