It appears that some Departments would have more influence on some indicators than others. Mr. Kinnane mentioned the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. I imagine every Department will be measured across all of the indicators because they are all dealing with the public and the community. Is it a question of measuring everybody using one set of indicators? Has the Department defined what those indicators will be? For example, as regards the greening measures, the Department has not set out all of the various measuring points for those and they have been in the report for two years now. Will the roll-out of the well-being framework be as slow? I hope it will not be as slow and it will be more prominent in the report from this year onwards? I cannot see any reason for holding back on the framework. I ask that the Department start reporting on it sooner rather than later? Can Mr. Kinnane give an indication of the timeframe for rolling it out? I would prefer to see the well-being framework moving faster than the greening measures? It is a measure of how the Government is performing in delivering for the public. It is not all about economics. We want to ensure that quality of life and other factors that are important will also be measured in the report as soon as possible. When will we see indicators on the well-being framework being presented in the report? Will the same measurements be used across all Departments?
