Mr. Ronnie Downes:

It is a real discussion in which we listen to what that other Department has to say. It is not a situation whereby, if a Department underperforms, we will automatically give it less money. We have to listen to what colleagues have to say. I know the Chair is not zeroing in on those particular examples but I imagine that, if my colleagues in the Department of Health are listening in, they will probably be screaming at their screens and asking how they possibly could have moved people from congregated community settings as anticipated last year when there was a lockdown and when movement was not possible. That is an example of something envisaged at the start of the year that turned out not to be possible or practicable as the year went on. In some cases, there is an explanation for why a Department did not achieve what it envisaged.
