It is imperative that organisations consult when planning and reviewing the provisions of services. Let us remember how we debated and discussed, in recent times, a review of our legislative processes and brought about a change in how we do our business here. For new legislation, the idea is that we consult with a much wider range of people whom it will affect. It is good enough for us to do so from a legislative point of view. Therefore, it is important that the agency should consult when bringing about the provision of services that directly affect people.
