Chamber and committees

That might be opening up another area of debate again.

That is helpful. Obviously, you are working with many different partners. Do you have problems dealing with, say, councils or the NHS, which I suspect will have very different IT systems to yours? I presume that the relationship is smooth between yourselves, Scottish Enterprise and HIE, because you all sing from the same hymn sheet.

I will come in at this point. Do you think that the police are unique in the way that all of that went, or could points from your experience help other reorganisations and reforms?

We might come back to that point later.

I will let David Page come in first because I think that he wanted to come in anyway, and then perhaps one of the other smaller organisations would come in. Perhaps Anthony Daye from South of Scotland Enterprise would like to answer.

Are you aiming that question at anyone in particular?

Thank you, David, for your input. Let us focus on the IT side of things, because I think that what Keith Brown has raised is really important. Can we hear from Anthony Daye from South of Scotland Enterprise, which is a smaller organisation—one of the newest ones at the table, I think?

Who would like to respond to that?

I was interested in the fact that, in your submission, you said that you need 370 people, but that you are going to work with 300. I thought that that was an interesting approach. Will you respond to Ross Greer’s question in that context?

Okay—we have given that subject a bit of an airing.

I will bring in Michael Marra.
