As the implementation of the new model will take place in the next parliamentary session, we are of the view that the issues merit further consideration.
However, speaking from my experience as an official, it is sensible that there should be a presumption against new small bodies, and a requirement that any new body should involve a full business case and an expectation around shared services.
