Question Title

* 6. Domain 3b: Service Delivery: How can delivery be optimised or streamlined, to make better use of money, workforce time and capacity – while maintaining quality and safety? Where are we not investing properly in things with a good ROI investment, or still investing in services that would better be decommissioned?
