Mr. Kenneth Spratt:

There was quite a bit in that. I will touch on as many of the questions as I can and I might need some help from colleagues. With regard to the disability sector and people with disabilities, for a number of years every public transport service provider has had make sure new infrastructure or new vehicles are accessible. Thankfully, it is the case that all relatively new vehicles are accessible. Some retrofitting is also being done. We are very alert to the hard infrastructure. It also needs to be supported by soft schemes. We have the Just a Minute card so people boarding public transport services can give the driver an indication they need a bit more time. We also have the travel assistance scheme, whereby assistance is provided by some of the transport service providers to people who need help embarking or disembarking. There is also disability awareness training for all of the drivers. We very much acknowledge that we need to up our game and we are working as hard as we can to make sure we do so.

The point on mega programmes is interesting. I had not seen it that way. For us, they are massive projects. Some of the programmes involve multiple projects and huge amounts of money. For us they are mega, but I can see were the Deputy is coming from.
