Dr. Alan Wall:
I do not accept that. There is an evolving situation in GMIT. As the Deputy is aware, there is an interim report that we will share with the committee. The GMIT has not reached its targets. However, it has done good things and numbers have gone up. It has changed the mix of what it is offering, but it has not solved the problem. The question that we are raising, and which our board is considering in relation to GMIT, is whether a different approach needs to be taken in a broader policy space.
