as a result we admit there have been inadequate communication and

co-ordination of the project at the time, but since then in March 1985 the Accommodation Division of my Branch has issued a manual to departments setting out procedures on how such projects should be co-ordinated and dealt with in future and I am glad to say that

since the issue of that manual the co-ordination and processing of

similar projects have shown signs of improvement.

Director of Audit's report about this centre for the elderly when there

was a constitutional difficulty with the voluntary agency.

And it

took your Department from March 1984 to August 1984 in order to resolve this difficulty.

Do you think there is justification for taking so
