Special Report No. 88 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Restructuring the Administration of Student Grants
10:00 am
Mr. Alan Murphy:
It is based on the fact that we are taking on an increasing number of students this year but will maintain staff levels, and on the fact that we will continue to drive down outsource cost levels and not significantly increase our investment in IT, which is the main driver of our costs. In short, we have stable costs but will process an increasing number of applications.
