I do not have much more to ask the witnesses. I will pick up on the points made in the opening statement on cost pressures in operational services with regard to residential placements for people with intellectual disabilities. Two people have contacted the committee about the services contracted out to two different organisations. I will give the names of the organisations afterwards. It was one of the issues I questioned when we had a meeting with CHO 7. I was told that a major audit was to be done of the organisations in question. There is no point in duplicating work but it would be useful for the committee to find out about that audit when it is taking place, including its scope.
