2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards

Mr. John Hennessy:

I am not sure that is quite fair in that we have fewer people working on this now than we had three years ago. One of the benefits of that central system is that it gives us capacity use automation and technology to do more with fewer people. The overall objective to which Mr. Burke refers is to maintain the accuracy of the GMS register. That is what we endeavour to do.
