The provision of these units was very positive. They met the housing needs of an awful lot of people, some of whom were elderly and, unfortunately, have passed on over the past 20 or 30 years. The intentions of the body itself were positive and good. The people on the small approved housing body did good work and had good intentions. However, typically, people move on and people are getting older. They then find that their capacity to manage it has changed, they decide to bring in a private company and here we go. That is the situation. I think there will be a bit more on this one and there could be another one along with it as well.

I will allow members back in for a second round of questions.
