Ms Mary Cunningham:

There is talk of producing an implementation plan. Our concern is that, 14 months later, it has not appeared and that there is no evidence of it. When talking about First 5, we are not really comparing like with like. There is a really determined and focused commitment to the implementation of First 5. Unless you have that, unless you have very clear milestones, unless the people who are accountable are identified and unless there is accountability in the system with regard to implementation, it will just be another strategy to add to add to previous strategies in youth work that have not been implemented.
