Some of my colleagues touched on staffing earlier. In the local authorities I deal with, everyone is to the pin of their collar. For this to work, it must be resourced. Ms Farrelly made that point earlier. We want this to work so surely the necessary resources have to be there in advance. We do not want the local authorities to have to deal with this without the tools they need from the word go.
