Something is maybe missing there. You talked earlier about that kind of community representation and joining things up. It is interesting that you are not all that familiar with LOIPs—local outcomes improvement plans—or locality plans. It would be good if community councils were aware of them.

I will ask some questions about the culture of public bodies. I will combine two questions, in the interests of time. With your experience of working across all CPPs, what, in your view, makes for successful community planning? Has the 2015 act led to shared budgets and a sense of collective responsibility?

That is great work on safeguarding all those jobs, which is critical for your part of the country.

How is the preventative approach going in the Highlands and Islands?

Thank you very much for that. I am interested in your perspectives on prevention and the idea of creating opportunities.

We will move on to theme 5, which is about measuring impact.
