A lot of discussion has been flagged on the issue of local authority housing being included within the PRTB's remit. Where does Ms Walsh see that happening? Has she thought about it strategically? Has she considered voluntary housing and the issues that will arise in terms of the reduction and management of staff and the deposit retention scheme, which represents 50% of the board's work but does not get good results? Strategically, has she thought about how she will work on these issues? I am getting away from dispute resolution where I have no problems. I am interested in strategic planning. Many Deputies have a great deal of experience in this area and have given it a great deal of thought. Does Ms Walsh have that kind of background?
