I would like to see the joint committee pick up on this issue. The Minister of State has set it out. For me, it was spelled out that there is an ideological fixation, whether it is in the Department or in the Government, which has resulted in setting out hurdle after hurdle. This is not an insurmountable issue. Based on the performance of the existing service, it is clear it is not delivering, is not going to meet the targets and needs to change.
