I will begin with some brief questions and answers as we are under pressure for time. I would preface any observations by saying that it is in no way to be critical of front-line staff in particular. Like most of us do at constituency level, I have engaged with those people and we realise that they are understaffed and overworked. Some would complain about the contractual situation they are in and others might have issues with the lack of progression in their own teams. I am fully aware of that, as are the majority of us here. My first question is on PDS, which is probably the most contentious issue up for debate. A simple question: is it working? Maybe Mr. O'Regan could answer that.
