No, it is just a general point and it happened lately with the Civil Legal Aid Act 1995 and the poor uptake on same. It seems to me as a general point that the Department might look at issues such as that as a learning exercise. The Civil Legal Aid Act 1995 is good. It is off topic but it is the same point. The legislation was brought in and the uptake by victims was low but there has been no review of that. Similarly, a review of a system such as this would be helpful to identify problems.
