But what's lacking to me - and to extend the metaphor - is the 'nature versus nurture' question. Is it enough to presume that a centre will mature organically (i.e. by nature alone)? Or should we be taking a more active involvement throughout (particularly at the start) to help determine the eventual outcome. I believe that we are lacking 'nurture' in our planning and development - in other words just letting Centres evolve organically. Whilst this may lead to the same ultimate outcome, I would argue that this is not necessarily the case and it is by no means the most efficient or desirable outcome. Equivalent to the liberal parents who do nothing to curb the excesses of youth! The metaphor of maturing works well for me, and the descriptions of the stages of maturity are good.
