In that context, to be helpful, I asked a question about the difference in the structures of protocol and procedure within the division, as opposed to the unit? If a protocol is in place in which cases are taken and lost, what is the case following such an outcome under the new structure as opposed to what was the case previously? Mr. Carroll mentioned the moratorium. Am I correct in stating that from January, Departments will have the liberty to recruit, as long as they stay within their Vote? Has that been agreed yet?
