Well, Llywydd, of course, the costs and benefits of the proposals that we will bring forward will be set out in the regulatory impact assessment that will accompany the local government Bill that the First Minister announced as part of the second year’s programme when he made the legislative statement last week. And there will be a new regulatory impact assessment that reflects the set of proposals that will then be in front of the Assembly. I think the Member makes an important point about local service boards, and she’s right to pick up the fact that there was interest in the consultation about the way that we would maybe realign public service boards so that they are better able to match the new set of circumstances with a greater emphasis on regional working and so on that the White Paper set out. And I definitely do intend to pursue some of the views that came through in consultation, and to look at public service boards in the context of these new arrangements.
