There are some really interesting and thought-provoking responses. As you’d expect, funding (or the lack of it) looms large as one of the challenges, and artificial intelligence is something that’s being thought about.

Anyway, make a cup of tea or coffee and have a good read-fest.

Thanks to the following organisations for responding to date:
