Ms Emma Cunningham:
One of the challenges of the scheme to date is that the numbers who have been successful at appeal have been quite low because of the prescriptive nature of this. The budgeting is done on the basis of the existing scheme as set out in legislation. If there was a decision taken to bring in a new scheme and there was legislation, then the budget would be adapted for that but when we did the budget we had to do it on the basis of the scheme as it exists.
