I do not believe that the object of this reduction of senior staff is one which has to do with reporting on results. I think that results need to be reported at every level of the department. I do not think that it should be an onerous task to put those results into some kind of report form for consideration by this Assembly.
I would hope that the Minister does not believe that because of this recommendation, he recreate the Department of Statistics and develop a new statistical model, or go out and survey and do extensive sampling, in order to present us with these things. I would hope that there would be enough recognition, and that a lot of this can be provided by just ensuring that the results are reported through the various areas in the department right now.
