Mr. John McKeon:

The referral period for any client is 12 months, so they work with the provider for 12 months. The model provides that if a person becomes unemployed and works with our Intreo service for 12 months, potentially they would then work with a JobPath provider for 12 months. That is the model. During that period, the provider can send somebody to an education programme of up to six months duration and apply the stop the clock mechanism. That is deliberately done because if we allowed it to be a longer period, the contract could ultimately end up , being four years plus five or six years instead of being four years plus two years at the end because someone went into long-term education.
