Will we go through them a little bit just to see? The first recommendation is:

The protocol ... should be strengthened in relation to the Department’s oversight of the grant funding provided. The protocol should detail how compliance with the requirements ... is exercised, and implement a formalised structure around spot checking.

So there was spot checking but there was no formalised structure around that. Is that now in place?
