Mr. Ken Cleary:

From the Department of public expenditure's perspective it has largely been through the Government Departments. I should have emphasised when we are consulting key stakeholders Departments are part of it because it is the Departments that are responsible for the commercial semi-States that are ultimately responsible for those sectors of the economy. Until recently what our Department has been doing, if I can characterise it this way, is setting the rulebooks, including things like the infrastructure guidelines and so on. What we are now doing that is different is going out and gathering this evidence from the centre on what is delaying delivery, so that is a qualitative difference from anything we have done before. We have heard a lot of things coming from Departments and have heard a lot of things from stakeholders and interest groups. Now we need to gather this evidence in a more systematic manner than we have done to date and attempt to coalesce it into something coherent for the Government. We are trying not to give 500 things that are wrong with the system at the moment, but to focus on what are the most meaningful barriers and how we go about addressing them.
