Answer
The most important aspect of the delivery of public services is to ensure these effectively meet the needs of citizens. The experience of recent months shows how essential it is for all of the public sector to work together in partnership with the community in delivering these services and the maintenance and deepening of these partnerships is vital. I have no immediate plans to bring forward a bill relating to these issues.
