Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion
Mr. Brendan Walsh:
That is a very interesting question. As part of our placement of those 30 extra permanent testers, we tried to accommodate people based on their ability to get to a certain place in as short a time as possible. That is what we sought to do in respect of our permanent testers. I am aware of one or two cases where testers were offered jobs in jurisdictions that were unsuitable for them but, unfortunately, that is where the vacancies were. We are cognisant of ensuring a proper work-life balance so people, particularly those in a role as testers, are not spending too long driving to and from work.
