Ms Laverne McGuinness:
The Chairman's points are valid. We had said that while service level arrangements and annual financial statements were looked at by accountants, the level of scrutiny to be applied had to be augmented. This has actually been incorporated in the service level arrangements in the level of scrutiny to be applied to them. New arrangements are going to be in place in that regard.
