We are going to assemble the information over the next month or two. We will then have a list of 50 organisations, let us say, that had compliance issues. We will have dossiers on all 50, and we will ask the secretariat to streamline them into categories such as those for which there was no Government framework in place or those that involved proprietary products. The contract for the locks in prisons is an example of the latter. It was not possible to put that contract out to tender. Other categories would be those where the contracts were rolled over or those where there was no proper system in place. The HSE would be an example of the latter. It gets it consistently wrong.
