We are on the same page. It is very difficult when we are cutting back on spending on a range of services and people see fraud occurring. I ask Ms O'Donoghue to take on board the point made by the Comptroller and Auditor General that this is an area the Department can examine so that the level of detection is higher when the Department's representatives appear here next year.
