Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip – in the Senedd at 2:56 pm on 20 June 2018.
Thank you for that response, Cabinet Secretary. There's been much discussion, as ever, here today on the digital infrastructure, but there's far too little attention in my view on how we use that infrastructure to transform the way we design and deliver public services. It's clear that this is a challenging agenda for all Governments, and the evidence that the Public Accounts Committee and the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee have taken shows that there's a particular challenge in both central and local government to get the wherewithal to allow them to be intelligent clients. I was just wondering about the suggestion of gathering people from the outside world who are desperate for progress on this agenda to come together to help—not as some kind of standing committee to receive presentations and papers, but to act as critical friends for officials and Ministers to help them understand this complex environment to bring about the change that we so desperately and quickly need.
