That is part of the work we are doing with the NTACC. I met the chairman two weeks ago to get his views on how we can do that. He agrees that it will take time to adjust. We have sought input from several stakeholders on the recommended structure, that is, the national Traveller accommodation authority. We have asked Traveller organisations and local authorities for their views. I have met the chairman. There is not yet consensus on the best way to structure that to ensure that it works and is effective. The concept is fine but the question is how best to do it without unnecessarily complicating or duplicating any processes. The project team will explore that with all the players involved. In the short-term, as Ms Tobin touched on, we will see what we can do to monitor and track delivery. We will make some short-term changes as we form a long-term view. That will be done in conjunction with the NTACC and its members. The implementation phase will begin in January. That is the bottom line.
