Chamber and committees

How long?

You have a strategic overview across the country and will have developed an expertise and understanding about what works in some areas and what does not. Do you have regular discussions with local authorities about how to improve the offer in certain localities?

Can you quantify that for us?

No.

So, there were five or six months in which people were potentially leaving the organisation. Are you able to quantify how many?

Have you seen any effect on recruitment with the further delay and the decision in June not to bring in the legislation for a period, or has that just compounded the same issue?

Yes, it is just a quick one. Fiona Robertson, you said that we should not draw comparisons between now and prior to the pandemic but that you are confident that things have got better. Is that not a contradiction?

Has this come up?

Do you not think that it should? There is a big gap between the wealthier areas and the poorer areas. Should that not be on your red risk register?

That is helpful. Thank you.
