That is reassuring but I am looking at a strategy that was set a long time ago. The period of the strategy has passed and the recommendations have not been complied with. At that time, it was recognised that people's lives were chaotic, although I do not like the use of that word. They suffered very chaotic experiences that led them into that. The importance of community was recognised at the start of that strategy. What specific progress has been made in respect of community outreach, given that this was identified back in 2012? There was a pilot project in 2017. Where are we with this? Has it been completed? Have we learned from it? What will we roll out next year?
