I agree that we need checks and balances but I believe we have gone from correcting what was wrong to overcorrection. Now we end up at a stage where we have probably a worse situation and we are using a lot of resources in it which should be better employed and still have checks and balances. If one takes housing, for example, one should devolve the authority to the local authority to deliver social housing rather than them having to go back to the Department when they appoint a design team. When they do a brief, everything has to go back to the Department and that delays the whole thing. I sound frustrated.
