I thank Ms Ward for that presentation. Does she have information on where we are in terms of developing, say, quality part-time activation or training and education measures? I know that has been looked at because previously community employment, CE, schemes tended to be examined. I am aware issues arose around the education and training board, ETB, courses. These transitions are very important. The pre-development work is excellent and necessary but in terms of the training opportunities people are taking up, concern has been raised about the way ETB courses are structured and whether people are able to transition into them. It is about ensuring there is a suite of options available.
