Ms Mary Hurley:

As I have said, as the Accounting Officer in the Department and with regard to the funding I disburse through the Vote, if there was a SIPO finding on an issue or a decision taken by a chief executive on the money, certainly it would be on my radar. In general, SIPO is probably not something that we use. It is something we could consider down the road.
