I have one question left, convener. I want to pick up on Emily Johnston’s comments about the speak out forums, which sound like a really good opportunity to value lived experience. Will the impact of those forums be entirely internal or will decisions, changes or even conversations that are held off the back of those forums be shared more widely?

I have a final question on this theme. The committee has always been very aware that we ask people to give very personal testimonies, and it can be difficult for them to do that and to believe that doing so will result in change. In doing co-design first, would there have been any danger of not then having parliamentary approval, and of things not ending up as had been expected by those who fed in?

I want to press further on that, if I may, convener. I appreciate everything that you have just said, Chris. Off the top of your head, is there anything that needs to be included in the co-design process to account for that and which will make you feel more secure and reassured about being listened to?

We will now take questions from Pam Duncan-Glancy, to be followed by Jeremy Balfour.

L’Arche has recommended that personal assistants be regulated. Why is that needed and what impact could it have?

As you come from the Highlands, is there anything that you think that the national care service would need to consider in working with third sector providers in different geographical areas?

Thank you. You have answered the next question that I was going to ask.

Good morning, minister. In the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, you focused on the order in which the process is being done, with the bill being enabling legislation and the detail being developed through a process of co-design and subject to sign-off from the Parliament through secondary legislation. Does introducing enabling legislation in that way and then co-designing the systems provide more opportunity for organisations and people with lived experience to feed in?

That is reassuring. Speaking of early intervention, are there on-going discussions at this early stage about how the NCS will react to and be compatible with the prevention duties?

Beth, you have been quite quiet so far. I would like to pick up on what Crisis has already said about not including homelessness in the functions that can be transferred to the national care service. In your opinion, what will the impact of that be?
