Ms Áine Flynn:

That interdepartmental steering group, of which we are members, was instituted as long ago as 2016, after the Act was enacted. We meet regularly, and it acts as a point of escalation. We have quite regular collaboration with the National Advocacy Service and I am pleased to see that happen.

In relation to the questions raised around banking, and this is somewhat adjacent to that, we have regular engagement with the representatives of the main pillar banks and their vulnerable customer units, as they are called. We are arranging a webinar for front-line banking services at the end of next month, at which the National Advocacy Service will be contributing.

In terms of the overall review of functions, I hope I am not misunderstanding the question. I have mentioned the supervision that we exercise in respect of decision support arrangements that are under our remit. Of course, the Act itself is subject to review. That is built into the Act and is to happen not later than five years after commencement. We are halfway into that.
