Mr. John A. Moran:

I reiterate the point I made earlier about governance. We must get the governance right between the director general, who we might call the Secretary General, and the mayor, who we might call the Minister, so that it is clear the political system appoints the director general and can hold him or her responsible for delivery. We do not need to build two different silos of resources. As would happen in any Department, the director general uses all the resources of the council to drive the same programme as the mayor. Thus it is important there is a total alignment of interests there rather than, as Dr. O'Malley said, people working against each other.
