I have one final question. On the equality budget, which Professor O'Hagan noted has been a piece of work since devolution, what metrics are used to measure progress? Is an overarching list of goals developed that are ticked off as achieved and reviewed at intervals along the way to ensure they are still fit for purpose? What new knowledge was gained from doing a piece of work like that? We know the importance of equality budgeting. We know the goals that need to be achieved. How do we measure progress along that very long path?
