Ms Mary Hurley:

What I am saying, in terms of my approach and my role as Accounting Officer in my Department, is that we were doing a completely separate exercise, which is not a duplication of Benefacts. It is really quite different. It is a grant-based database that will make it easier for applicants to submit their applications and will bring them all together. I am looking at it from the perspective of my Department but it could have a cross-government perspective. It is quite different.
