If that is an unintended consequence, what are you offering as a solution?

Your answer is the Government.

I thank Matthew Sweeney, Jane Brumpton, Adam Hall, Jonathan Broadbery and Graeme McAlister, who have been our panellists this morning. We appreciate you giving us your time and evidence, which has been very interesting. As I think you can tell, it has stimulated a lot of response from the members of the committee.
We will have a short suspension to allow for a change of witnesses. To those leaving us, I say thank you very much and have a good day.

It is just that it says on the tin “Improvement Service” and I would have thought that improvement related to outcomes. There we go—I learn something new every day.

Someone obviously needs to pick that up. Matthew Sweeney offered local authorities and the Government. I will turn to Adam Hall. It is not the Improvement Service, as he said earlier.

We will come back to that, as there is a queue of people—thankfully—who want to contribute to the current line of questioning.

I am sure that we will want to come back to that. Matthew Sweeney has indicated a couple of times that he would like to come back in on the issue, and then we will move on.

What about the differential in pay and conditions? That has to be addressed as well, does it not?
