Ms Susanna Lyons:

The regulator does not have a role specifically relating to local authorities but they will be able to utilise the delivery of our services so they can check against the register, etc. They enter their own contractual arrangements with each AHB and, therefore, they remain responsible for reviewing each of those contracts that they have, including nomination, capital programmes, etc. That is for the individual local authorities. AHBRA then can see the entire spend across the spectrum by local authority, AHB, etc. and that is a valuable tool.
