In 23 or more areas there will be one strategy. Will the Minister of State confirm the position in these cases? If a strategy is not up to standard, will the Department go back to the bidder or the person who submitted the strategy to look for necessary amendments or improvements? In cases where there are two or more strategies, a competitive bid process applies and the best strategy will jump the ditch. Will the Minister of State outline what will happen if several of the strategies are not up to standard? Will the Department accept the best strategy and try to have it improved?
