I thank Mr. Hession.

I will not go so far as some members and say I support this, but I will approach it with an open mind. I am listening as much as I can and will be engaging with as many people as possible. Two places where the tyre hits the ground in terms of people’s concerns are assessments and what happens if they do not engage with Intreo and other work supports. I will deal with these concerns one at a time. Who would carry out the assessments prior to categorisation into the three tiers?
