Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

I will respond to the first question. The normal practice is that the funding stays until the post is recruited unless the service decides the post cannot be recruited and there may be some alternative way to deliver the same benefit. If none of that works, there has to be some sort of reparation. Normally, the money stays until the post is recruited.
