I will stay with the CCMA for this round of questions. Ms Henchy spoke about a robust review. The whole thing is currently a bit meaningless. It involves the executive ticking boxes. I do not mean to be insulting, but that is the reality for many councillors who tell me there is no real engagement. That is how I felt about the reviews when I was in the local authority. Things have moved on considerably since then. In a short sentence, does Ms Henchy believe in a robust mid-term review?
