One of the issues I explored with GSOC in detail the last time it was here, was the issue of resources and its impact on the length of time investigations take. Of particular concern were those people under the age of 18 who had made a complaint. Ms Logan gave a credible and strong contribution on that occasion. I will return to that theme. Will the witnesses talk a little about the maximum length of time it is currently taking to process cases? For example, what is the longest period a case is ongoing and does GSOC have an average time for an investigation to take?
