I will talk to them. I thank the witness for that. Usually individual cases will show a trend as well. I am more interested in the system but individual cases will give one a glimpse into the system and what could go wrong.

We are looking at this from the point of view of whether it is value for money and whether it is progression. Essentially, my understanding of what happens in this process is that the companies are given the detail of an individual who they must sign up to JobPath. The information is passed on from the Department.
