I do not say otherwise. This money is provided for the delivery of services to people with disabilities. What people give in charitable donations serves as a top-up to those services, but not to the CEOs. This distinction was not made by some charities. There is a way for charities to ensure there is greater transparency. I do not understand why boards do not include service users or those who represent them. This should be part and parcel of what they do. We should insist that this happens and I have endeavoured to do this with all boards I have appointed.
