I'll start by saying that we have a very unfortunate situation with the Phoenix pay system. My empathy is with everyone who has been affected by that. We're working very hard to negotiate damages compensation for our public servants, who are the best in the world.
The next-generation pay system comes out of our commitment to replace the Phoenix system, which is just not fit for its purpose, so it's been a very different way of moving forward. I will ask the officials to talk about exactly how the money is being expended. I can say, though, about the methodology we're using, that the process of investigating how to replace the Phoenix pay system is one that is really focused on the user. In other words, the people whose work will be paid through the system are involved in the consultations. We've had consultations right across the country. We've involved other pay experts. We're doing this in a staged approach so that we can test out and pilot particular potential “software as a service” solutions to pay.
It's a very different approach from deciding, as the previous government did, that they wanted to cut spending and wanted to reduce the number of civil servants, and therefore would launch a pay system that wasn't suitable or ready. We're doing it differently.
As to how the money is being spent, I'll ask....
