Ms Jacinta Stewart:
There are 48 pages. There is a whole range of rules and regulations governing the scheme, as the Deputy will be aware, and that is a very complicated process to assess. As I said, we have streamlined that process and we have put quality control measures in place.
The team leaders and a high-quality team are trying to ensure that the right assessments are made. All of that costs money.
