Chamber and committees

Okay. I wanted to give you clarity as to what David Torrance was getting at.

We will have a question from Carol Mochan, before we start to talk about co-design in more detail.

Stephanie Callaghan will have the last question before we take a break.

A number of members want to pick up on things that the minister has said on this theme. We will hear them individually and I ask them to ask just one question because we need to move on to talk about co-design and implementation in detail. Sandesh Gulhane is first on my list.

Thank you. We move on to Sandesh Gulhane, who has some questions on the issue of homelessness and drug and alcohol support.

What you have just said very much echoes what we have heard in our informal sessions with people who have family members in need of the services that you have highlighted.

Thank you, that is helpful.

We move on to questions from Paul O’Kane.

I think Evelyn Tweed wants to come in.

Elinor, you have pointed to a number of things that should be happening on the ground—there are already regulations and policy in those areas—but there is an implementation gap and a geographical differentiation around the country, such that good practice is not being shared. Is there an opportunity for a national care service to close that implementation gap and have consistency across the country?

Do you want to bring in Susan Webster, too, Stephanie?
