The next agenda item is about community planning. Again, we have a response from the accountable officer. Are there any comments on the letter from Andrew Goudie?
We asked about timetables. We are getting answers to the questions that we posed, which is progress.
Although there is greater detail in this response, I have a more fundamental question: what exactly are we getting from community planning in return for the considerable effort and investment in time and money? I accept that an outcomes-based approach might make a contribution. I do not know whether it is for us or another committee to explore, but some fundamental questions need to be asked about exactly what community planning is delivering.
The Crerar report is mentioned in the letter, and it is clear from my reading of it that the matter is under consideration.
Is there anything for us to do at this stage? If not, are we happy to note the contents of the letter and leave it to others to follow up?
