I take Deputy Penrose’s point about the town councils. It was a bad decision at the time.

The restructuring sub-committee is expected to report its findings on the optimal regional structure for CIS and MABS companies to the board of the CIB shortly. It is important to remember that the planned restructuring of services is at local company board level only.

I will bring the Deputies’ concerns about section 9 of the Citizens Information Act 2007 and the restructuring of the organisations to the attention of the Minister for Social Protection.
