Dr. Bridget Johnston:
Some of the roadmaps that show how the power will be devolved and trust built to allow that to happen are not in the public domain yet. The governing structures for the RHAs, what the legal framework might look like or if it will be there, what the population base resource model will be, who will oversee it, how it will work: any of those things we need to begin to take the steps or get buy-in are not there for people to engage with. That is one of the fundamentals. Whether they are still being decided or just not in the public domain is not fully clear to me. They are fundamental to making the next decisions. They are the underpinnings of what we do next and without them how do we continue to shift some of these things that are so important?
