It needs to change. We have made some positive steps this year but bigger steps need to be taken for 2024. I reiterate, and Mr. Harris alluded to it, we need to take an overview of this and find organisations that are suitably qualified and with staff that have put themselves forward on the portal to make sure a programme is provided.
That is all of the questions from committee members. I thank Mr. Harris for his contribution not just today but over the past number of years and I am sure a lot of his recommendations will form a strong part of our report. He has been very supportive to the committee. We will suspend for five minutes.
