Ms Clare McGrath:

Not at all. If we are conducting a construction project the delivery of which will take three or four years, as I comprehend from the New Zealand model, and I can be corrected on this, the output is what we are going to deliver for the public because it must be outward facing to third parties. I suggest, and this is a modification rather than being at odds with that model, that the milestones in the achievement of that, which might be reflected in earlier years, could be usefully included in our outputs. It is not at all to take from what is being suggested in the New Zealand model. Where processes are multi-annual and the final delivery of a project is a number of years hence, how do we reflect on the progress towards achieving that? That is more where I am coning at in terms of the resources being expended in a given year.
