Arising from those replies, I will put a question to the Department. Is it concerned that Turas Nua and Seetec are essentially being paid twice for recruiting people for whom they receive a payment to sign on with JobPath and then receive job sustainment payments for employing them? A figure of 14% would equate to approximately 45 staff. If one peels it back a little, it is likely that Turas Nua and Seetec receive double payments for approximately 30 staff each. This is a major problem. What is the Department's view?
