I am aware. I meet regularly with legal representatives about quite a number of issues regarding to legal aid. What I committed to last year and what we are working towards now is a review of civil legal aid in particular, acknowledging that there are challenges within the structure as it currently exists. That is obviously separate from the funding for those who carry out the functions. There are a number of things that we need to deal with. I am aware of it and am engaging with the sector about it. We have legislation on criminal legal aid. We need to make sure that if we review civil legal aid that we have the particulars to be able to support and work with the people who will be able to access the legal aid.
