Ms Katherine Licken:
No. The review is undertaken by the civil servants. We have two structures for review in the Department. We have our strategic policy unit, which is entirely separate from all the divisional units – all the policy units. It does assessments as well, as was set out coming into the committee today. It does its assessments and that also feeds into the assessment done by the civil servants in the department of the sports capital programme or any other programme.
