Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

We have worked very closely with them over the past year or 18 months in preparation for the new entity. We assisted them to commission and pay for an organisational review that I think they probably referred to when they were here. The review formed the basis for their business case for budget 2024 and it will inform the consequential budgets as well. The increase for this year was very substantial as they got a 17% increase, from 2023 to 2024. From 2022 to 2023, GSOC got a 25% increase in its budget. That is very substantial compared with the rest of the sector. I would expect that to continue as well.
