Mr. Sam Waide:

In terms of booking a test, when someone goes online, they can book a test in the closest test centre. This is similar to other services. They have the option to seek a test sooner than that and they can go further afield for that. We still have the priority list. There is a fairness to "first come, first served", so there is a fair system in place. There is also a reminder to customers with regard to the 90 days. For example, if the Deputy has a vehicle that requires an NCT, he gets a notice in the 90-day period and the 90 days is the closest he can book a test. He gets that reminder and he also gets subsequent reminders. That provides people with opportunities.

With regard to priority, if a customer for whatever reason leaves it quite late, it may be that they have a genuine reason. For example, we still have a priority list in place for front-line HSE workers and they will be accommodated as a priority, with that exception-----
