Mr. Graham Doyle:

There are strong overall governance structures in place. The Peter McVerry Trust is a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act. It is a registered charity. There is a Charities Regulator. It is an AHB and there is an AHB regulator, although that regulator was probably in its early stages at that particular time. There is an overall regulatory structure in place even at that very high level. The changes we have made recently are particularly in response to the Comptroller and Auditor General's report in terms of the actions we took when we found ourselves dealing with a particularly urgent situation which threatened service provision to the public. Those changes were very much directed at what happened at that particular point in time and us trying to respond to that situation.
