I agree with everybody about the national social inclusion office. It does a phenomenal job but it is stretched. Ms Windle mentioned earlier the cross-departmental working together piece and the difficulties when a worker is working with two Departments. Can she say a little more about the problems and why it takes so long? Why is it not quicker to get stuff done from a cross-departmental point of view?
