We actually want to make a difference.
Last week, Suzi Martin from the National Autistic Society praised the Scottish Government for creating the LEAP, and you mentioned in your opening statement that you plan to meet the LEAP next week to get a detailed work plan. Do you have timescales attached to that? I am sorry to put you on the spot if you do not, but it would be good if you could advise the committee, not necessarily today but maybe in writing.

Having the data is key to that, as well.
John Dickie, do you have any comments on that?
