In regard to recruitment, driving licences and the delays, the Chairman asked about the RSA having to do the due diligence twice and our guests outlined the difference between the two occasions. Deputy Carey asked about the recruitment of part-time driving testers. On both occasions, our guests stated that they have to follow the rules, which are prescribed to them. Are they looking for flexibility in regard to any of that? They are on the front line and they hear, not just from us but from communities and industry, that we need to speed up these processes. Are they making the case, to whomever is prescribing these rules to them, that they are opportunities for efficiencies here, such as if the administration were done in a certain way, that would save time, for example?
