As our audit notes, that sort of ongoing evaluation is not being done on a systematic basis, on a regular recurring basis. It tends to be done more when government wants to reallocate, and then it tends to be more a one-time or periodic measure rather than a continuous process. As we also said, there's more scrutiny attached to new spending than ongoing spending, so there needs to be more work done on assessing the two together.
