All those suggestions would be gratefully received. The committee had a public policy remit and we are arguing the toss about having that reinstated. If it is, are there public policy issues that would be useful for us to explore? Ms Black may wish to consider that and come back to us because the board encounters a great number of people with many issues. Deputies Cassells and Mitchell referred to that. What themes could we explore that would be helpful, which might not come under the remit of a single Department but cut across a number of them, were the committee's remit to be extended? Ms Black can offer some thoughts now and come back to us as well.
