One of the things that has impressed me in our engagement with parents and carers is how fitting the Scottish Transitions Forum’s principles of good transitions are. Every turn of our discussion seems to have touched on one of those seven principles. How successful has the forum been in improving transition processes, particularly in the light of the relevance and effectiveness of those seven principles?

That is interesting. On Monday evening, we met a mother who had given up her job in order to be able to do exactly what you have described—what you are saying sits with the evidence that we have received.

I will turn to Lee-Anne McAulay to comment on how effective health-focused transition plans are, and I will then go to Andy Miller and Rebecca Scarlett.

We keep coming back to the principles that the Scottish Transitions Forum has set out about the importance of the co-ordination of services.

That is a clear answer. Thank you very much.

I will stay with you for this question, Rebecca. There has been a lot of comment on this, but I want to give you the opportunity to put your position on the record for our evidence. How do you feel that the views of young people and their families are taken into account during the transition process?

You have identified that some transitions in some parts of Scotland are very good. However, you seem to be saying that, in general terms, transitions fall victim to culture and resources. You also raise an interesting point about having an independent commissioner or some kind of independent assessment of how effective transitions are in general. Is that a fair summary of what you have said?

You make your point well. Of course, the critical element in culture change is always leadership, as you rightly identified.

Nicole, would you like to go next?

I want to come back to that issue in my final question, but I should allow Lee-Anne McAulay to add to what has been said.

So, you are identifying a need for capacity and capability.

Andy Miller, you began to address the subject of my final question in your previous answer. Do you want to build on what you said?
