Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

I am coming to the Deputy's point. The key issue is that link was lost pre-recession. It was funded effectively through inflationary money. Effectively, their staff costs go up with wage inflation. They have not had a mechanism to restore what most of them had, which is similar salaries to the section 38 organisations. That is now a very significant issue. We recognise that and I have said it publicly in these committees a few times. We do not have the solution within our authority. However, we certainly want to be part of the solution. We see it as a service problem that will impact service users, if it has not already.
