Mr. Bernard Gloster:
It is improving. My predecessor once removed - I am not sure what the title is - Tony O'Brien introduced a system several years ago under which a percentage of the funding would be withheld from organisations that did not sign the agreement by the end of February. It is the only strategy we have, but it can cause consternation. I am always worried in those circumstances that it would cause unintended harm to people.
