There are no recorded instances of software or IT systems procured by my department subsequently being deemed unfit for purpose, and therefore no associated replacement or remediation costs.
The information in respect of state bodies, within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my Department. Contact details for these bodies are set out in the attached document, should the Deputy wish to contact the aegis bodies directly with his query.
