With respect, I understand that the Department has to be satisfied that the process is appropriate and so on. I accept all of that. There has to be a process. To cut to the chase, the witness accepts that the Department and local authorities have accepted that there is a problem and they are trying to resolve it. The Department has carried out a review. Further action may now be put in place. I am trying to establish whether the Department has set targets or whether it is going to set targets to reduce the average timeframe. If it is 18 months and is causing a problem, the solution is obviously to find ways to reduce it on average. What specifically is being proposed?
