I appreciate we are way over time. I expect something to come out of the local democracy task force in this respect. I want local authority members to be empowered to be able to interrogate their executives in local authorities so that they have comparable data to counties next door to them and around the place. If people are efficient in turning that around, they should not have to wait for 12 or 18 months to be able to say it and then for some executive member of the team to turn around and say it has improved in 2025 and that will be seen in next year's NOAC report. More real-time monitoring and publication of data is something that we will keep under review.
