Mr. Tony O'Brien:

I can give absolute assurance in relation to those matters. Two or three years ago, there actually was not a procurement department within the trust. Now, however, everything is actively procured. There is significant utilisation of Office of Government Procurement frameworks and so on. As to whether the structures are absolutely right, one of the things we are actively examining strategically and in consultation with AHBRA is whether we have the right internal arrangements between our approved housing body activities and our other activities. We are closely examining whether we should follow the example of some other charities in the sector in having a specific governance arrangement for our approved housing body activities. We probably should, but we need to appraise the options and manage the risks associated with any change. That is a live discussion with the regulator.
