I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I wish to raise several issues. Can we get a breakdown in real terms of the number of units AHBs have delivered in the past 12 months? The number delivered by local authorities has already been discussed. Regarding the cost-benefit analysis, local authorities are subject to strict spending rules and are under considerable scrutiny. Have we a structure to ensure we are getting value for money from AHBs?
