I am almost afraid to raise the issue of JobPath because if I do, I know a number of people who have engaged with the service will make contact with my colleagues. It depends on what is counted in terms of value for money. I have no problem with there being a case management system. It is welcome that people are helped to have a plan. I am not wild about the outsourcing of it but I have a bigger problem with what people are being told to expect from the service when they engage with it. Nearly everybody will say they are invited in once a week to sit at a computer and look up thejobs.iewebsite or a similar website. That is the extent of their engagement. I hear that over and over again. Have the witnesses done an analysis of the difference between the engagement with Intreo and JobPath in respect of the person's experience of their case being managed?
