Mr. Mark Griffin:

We track expenditure on an ongoing basis. It is tracked by Ms Carrigan, who is our finance officer, but it is also tracked by the Department's management board which I chair. It comprises the assistant secretaries of the Department. We have set a range of key strategic actions for the Department. One of them is delivery of the national retrofit plan to upgrade 500,000 homes by the end of 2030 and install 400,000 heat pumps. That is tracked on an ongoing basis. We are made aware when there is an indication of potential overspend or underspend. There are mechanisms within the accounting system to allow re-allocations, either internally in the Department-----
