Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

Basically, the post-implementation reviews would go back to the original business case that is made to the governance group and tested as to what it has delivered. As the Deputy knows, people can make extravagant promises as to what something will achieve. What the implementation review tests is whether it has delivered on that, whether it is doing all that it is supposed to be doing and whether there were any lessons to be learned from how it was carried out. We do those regularly now.
