There is no doubt that in the year that was in it, this particular sector was so impacted that we would all acknowledge that while it was just a tiny proportion of what was needed, it was certainly of benefit. We in the Committee of Public Accounts examine governance, funding and value for money, and I do not ask these questions to diminish the designation. Some of these issues cannot be measured monetarily in respect of the benefit gained.
