I thank Dr. Murray for that. We might have an opportunity to come back to that at the committee some other time.
On apprenticeships, I am a bit concerned that the role of QQI is light touch as regards quality, the curriculum and the examination, and that it is kind of being left to the provider to do its own assessment of that, with QQI not seeing any role or remit for itself in that regard. Is there any other body that does? Even with the quality of instruction, it is simply left to the provider. Is that the case?
