I think one of the things you can tell us about though, Minister, is the effect of this on partner organisations who’ve been working with NSA to deliver a range of programmes for some time now. This isn’t the first potential scandal that’s got through audit with a clean bill of health—we’ve had the All Wales Ethnic Minority Association. One of the big consequences of AWEMA was for those partnership organisations, some of whom had to wait up to a year under the threat of investigation themselves as a result of what had happened there. So, first of all, can you give us some indication of the timing of the audit that you’re undertaking within Government, but also what you’re doing to support those partnership organisations through a period of time that is going to be very difficult and possibly, fundamentally, the end of them, if you don’t deal with it quickly?
