Thank you, Andy. I have no further questions, convener.

Thanks, Hannah. No further questions, convener.

Do you recognise the situation expressed by the minister last week that people currently feel that they are being pushed from pillar to post if, for example, they have a complaint or concerns about the service? Do you share that view?

Very briefly, does anyone else want to come in on that question?

Thanks for your comments, which are very helpful.

I am keen to continue with the line of questions that I asked of the previous panel. I would like to hear from Liz Hamilton first, then from anyone else who would like to come in.

Are you satisfied that terms such as “community wealth building” and “20-minute neighbourhoods” are sufficiently well defined and understood to provide a robust basis for planning decision making? You touched slightly on 20-minute neighbourhoods earlier, but you might want to expand.

There are numerous references to the infrastructure-first approach in the revised NPF4. Can it be delivered in practice and, if not, what needs to change? I am keen to hear views on that. Previous witnesses have mentioned the resource implications.

My questions follow the same line that I took with the previous two panels. Dr Brown, are you satisfied that terms such as “community wealth building” and “20-minute neighbourhoods” have been defined and are understood well enough to provide a robust basis for decision making on planning? I am keen to hear your views on that.

I have one more question. There are numerous references to the infrastructure first approach in the revised NPF4. Is that being delivered in practice? If not, what needs to change?

Thank you for those comments, which we take on board. Morag, do you want to come in on this?
