I can see that that would be a huge issue. Throughcare would help to stop the revolving door of people coming back into the system.

Right.

The work is in progress. Thank you; that is helpful.

Malcolm Graham, I have a question about virtual domestic abuse courts. You say in your submission that you require agreement on funding for a pilot of those courts. I am a bit confused, because I understood that there were already pilot domestic abuse courts. Were those physical courts rather than virtual ones? What level of funding would you need to set up virtual courts?

There is some inaccurate reporting here.

That is helpful.

I have a quick question for John Logue before I move on to Malcolm Graham.

There is a story in the press today about 4,600 Covid deaths in care homes still being under investigation by the Crown Office. How is operation koper going, and what is the timescale for investigating the remaining cases?

It might have been yesterday; I beg your pardon.

Good morning. I would like to go back to the opening questions regarding multiyear funding. I know that you will appreciate the difficulties that the Scottish Government has with that because of our situation. You talked about having to hand back capital money if it is not spent by 31 March. Is that a regular occurrence? Do you have figures for that?

Yes. I thought that that would probably be the case, but it is still very interesting that it could be done, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Right. I am trying to square that in my head. You could do that for COP26, but officers in the rest of the force still do not have them. Are they different scenarios?
