Mr. David Minton:

Under the legislation, each of the regional assemblies in the current period adopted their regional plans in 2020 and published their implementation reports in late 2022. They all ran concurrently. That gives us an opportunity to contrast the performance of the regions intra-regionally but also comparatively across the three regions and against other EU regions. It is critical that we retain the commitment of public bodies to delivering on a regional level. It is important that it is not just the regional assemblies presenting on the performance of the regional assemblies but actually the commitments of the NPF at a regional level by all the State agencies. That is critically important.
