Mr. Ken Spratt:
I absolutely accept that. IT projects are difficult. One important point is that we carry out reviews every so often. We look back at all of the projects we have done. I might send on the one I signed off most recently for Deputy Boland so that she is aware of it and to give some certainty and confidence. There were approximately 530 projects in our last review. The vast majority of them came in on time, within budget and to the quality we expected. The occasional one does let us down but on the point that Mr. Doocey made about our governance oversight, we have no concerns in terms of trying to make sure we avoid risk and trying to make sure we spend money with good value for money in mind.
