Foundation Chief Executive Shaun Robinson, who said in
response to the recently released annual report of the

beggars belief that they are not reporting on the very thing
they are trying to improve as a top priority. If the data is
there why not continue to publish it in the report where
people are used to seeing it? I cannot for the life of me
work out why they would not do that - you are making the
whole situation less transparent”; if not, why
not?

What recent improvements have been made to connect Hamilton
