I will not come in again but there is one other area where the Minister was very clear. The Minister, Deputy Doherty, told me that people should be able to take the personal progression plan away from a meeting, seek advice on it and come back to suggest amendments. What is the information on this? Are there many examples of people who have suggested amendments and who have had those amendments accepted to their personal progression plans? Are people allowed to take the personal progression plan from a meeting, seek external advice and return? Are these people advised? Would the Department agree that people should be advised that they can take away their personal progression plan to seek advice on it? From what we have heard and from the reports, I am aware that in some cases people are put in front of a computer screen and are more or less to click here. That is not a plan that people can take away.
