I wish to raise one last point. All of our guests have given us an indication of how their respective Departments rate in relation to the 3% employment target, which is increasing to 6% but is there any analysis of career progression within Departments? Do a lot of disabled people come into Departments at a base level, which would be normal for most entrants, but then stay there? The NDA has indicated that it is going to start to monitor that. Is that something that the Departments look at themselves? Do they monitor whether disabled people do actually progress up through the ranks within the Civil Service? Do our guests have any figures on that?
