  11. Opportunity for Providers • We have a real opportunity to get involved in shaping the agenda. • Providers are taking a lead in developing new practice: • Swansea, Carmarthen, Wrexham • Innovating new models and technology. • New person centred approaches. • Building community. • The virtues of democratic life – community, solidarity, trust, civic friendship – these virtues are not like commodities that are depleted with use. They are rather like muscles that develop and grow stronger with exercise’ – Professor Michael Sandel 2009 Reith Lecture.
