It would be advisable for a regulator to have a standard practice of giving a meaningful response within a particular timeframe, stating that it will either roll this over to another regulatory body or close it out within that timeframe. It should at least have that as a guideline. Obviously if a tenant is experiencing something distressing or difficult, not having a timeframe is problematic.

We have talked a little today about registering AHBs that are currently in that process. During 2021-22, were there any AHBs that received funding from the Department that would not have been registered, whose registration was pending or were not fully registered?
