Text
As the Member knows, when we launched the plan last week, we talked about how we will have an oversight board in place. That oversight board has already been established, and it will oversee the full development and implementation of the strategy. That is a mark of the seriousness with which we treat the subject. It is a collective Executive strategy, and we are all focused on working together on it. The oversight board will be chaired at ministerial level, and the board will be cross-sectoral, with inclusive representation from across government, including local government, and from the community and voluntary sector and independent experts. We also have governance in place and will monitor the impact of all our actions. That has been designed into the framework, so we will be able to measure our success as we go. We will be able to do more of what is better and maybe do less of the things that are not as effective. I am pretty content that we have quite robust oversight and governance mechanisms in place that will allow us to have the best possible strategy that we can have.
