Mr. Sam Waide:

In simple terms, more tests are required. There is an infrastructure in place. My opening statement noted that there were 49 test centres. Provision has been made for overtime. One can have an NCT test done any day of the week, including Sundays but not everyone in any organisation and workforce wants to work overtime. They may do this work sometimes, perhaps coming up to Christmas, but that is not a sustainable model. With the seven- days testing regime, staff need time off. There is not just about the working time directive but there is also the issue of the health and well-being of staff providing any service.
