Chairman:

It is clear that current structures are not working. There are a number of levers open to the Minister to resolve this issue. First, there is a culture of unaccountability in this sector. In other words, people believe they are unaccountable and can proceed in this manner. Second, there are individuals who are very powerful employing people on poor, flexible, low-hour contracts who if they arise their voices might not get additional contracts. Third, there is the funding issue. If the Minister was to strengthen all of these areas it would improve the workforce experience in this area.
