Mr. Robert Watt:

I thank the Chair. I was not aware of the details and did not hear their testimony. There seems to be a variety of issues there around the availability and funding of service, the regulation of service standards and so on. Different bodies have different responsibilities for aspects of that. I will come back to the Chair on the specific points he made as they are distinct points.

Obviously, there is a question of funding. The Minister has allocated more funding to improve the public service for this year. The Chair raised specific questions around safeguarding and regulatory issues. They are obviously distinct. I will come back to the Chair on that. I do not know whether it is a policy or regulatory response, whether the existing agencies can deliver an improvement within the framework they have or whether some legislative or other change is required. Let us look at that and we will go back to the Chair.
