We do collect the information. Part of the difficulty relates to the ability to retrieve it in a user-friendly format. That is one of the things we are looking at. We had this exchange earlier in respect of primary schools. The information is gathered but it is stored in such a way that it takes a long time for it to be checked, double-checked and made available. I am not satisfied with the way we are using information and I hope we will be able to change and improve the situation so it can be accessed more readily.
