I thank the witnesses for coming in today. I will focus initially on the performance-related piece of work by the Comptroller and Auditor General in terms of delivering target setting. We all took the view that there should be strong transparency on which local authorities are performing well, and that they should be recognised for performing well. Equally, it is not clear to me exactly how that is measured and assessed or what constitutes performing well in terms of build and what does not. Will the witnesses talk me through how the Department assesses that? How does the Department deal with local authorities that are perceived not to be performing well on their build target?
