If I might make a point in that regard, there is provision within the scheme for the Minister to make regulations in respect of best practice. That could be set out by ministerial regulation regarding best practice or it might be addressed through the service level agreement with the service provider in terms of the best practice guidelines the Department would like to have implemented by the service provider.
