What I mean by a "cost" is that this happened, but then we obviously had to rectify the IT system. Had this project originally being carried out as it should have been, there would have been no need for a rectification or upgrade.
It probably should all have been done at the time at which, as Mr. Creighton said, this consultation was being carried out. That is what I mean by there being a cost. It is as if you are building a house and then, when it is done, you build the extension. It would probably be more cost-effective to have done it at the same time. In the event that the house was built with a room missing, who is at fault? Is it the architect or the builder? That is what I am trying to identify.
