Thank you for that helpful update, minister. We look forward to hearing more about the progress of the national collaborative. That completes our evidence session. I thank the ministers and their officials for attending. If members have more questions, we will follow up with them in writing.

Mr Strang, before you come in, I am not sure that that question relates completely to the work of the task force. It is a legitimate question but, in my view, it is a much wider question. Members should make sure that questions remain on track.

Thank you very much, minister. I will kick off the questioning with a general question, if I may.
Obviously the work of the task force, the wider work of the national mission and the delivery of the task force recommendations have been subject to on-going focus and scrutiny and, within that, there has been some focus on the timescales that you mentioned towards the end of your statement. Are you satisfied that the task force is on course to complete its work within the timescales that have been set, or should they be reviewed at some point down the line?
