I agree it has worked well in many areas. However, there are communities that feel they are not listened to and have past experience of commitments given by previous Governments and Ministers for services to follow, such as centres that would open up and GP and education services and teachers for when new communities come into their communities. Many of those failed to materialise. Alongside the dialogue and communication, we need a cross-departmental approach and solution. What engagement is there with other Ministers and Departments with regard to critical analysis of those other areas, whether it is education or transport, where there is a deficit? What engagement is there with other Departments and what commitment is there to put in place any of those additional needs?
