I thank everybody for being here this morning. Going to the opening statement and the issue of housing delivery, in 2023, 32,695 units were delivered. That was 13% above target. I want to get a handle on how the Department manages its resources in terms of its forecasting, its budgeting and so on. Will the witnesses outline briefly, given that I have less time than Deputy McAuliffe, the key indicators the Department uses in its forecasting of housing delivery?
