I thank our guests for coming today. I wish to pick up on some of the points raised by Deputy Burke on cases of overspending. I understand that with more than 8,000 bodies, the office cannot monitor every contract. However, I want to tease out the responsiveness of the OGP to the more systemic issues. What capacity has the office to receive feedback either on the original procurement process, how it is working or where it has not met expectations? Out of the 8,000 bodies, what proportion of them overspending would give rise to questions about the systems that the OGP had in place in the first instance? I invite the witnesses to talk us through some of the office's safeguards.
