Ms Laverne McGuinness:

The service level arrangement was not in place at the beginning of 2009 and we said that in our previous attendance here. A new service level arrangement to strengthen the governance and funding provided to section 38s was only introduced in its infancy towards the end of 2009 and has been worked on ever since. In 2010 or 2011, an additional amendment was made to it that any funding that comes from other sources should be identifiable. That would not have appeared in 2009 when the initial discussions took place.
