Ms Dixon mentioned earlier that the commission publishes various reports, one of which was the final investigation report into the public services card. We examine the issue from a value-for-money perspective, although that is not Ms Dixon’s remit and I have questions for her about the process and the report. The Committee of Public Accounts has dealt with this issue previously, as was mentioned in the commission's report. A chapter in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General examined the business case, or lack thereof, that underpinned the public services card on its conception. There were also issues with the tendering process. Mr. McCarthy might recall when the report was published.
