Mr. Egan mentioned that many of these people would be classified as long-term unemployed. Does he consider that these people, having been part of a community-supported system, would have achieved enough learning outcomes to upskill and ready themselves for a new market? Does he agree that it might be necessary for continued forms of community support schemes to have a role throughout the lives of individuals who might be quite advanced in age?
