To a certain extent, it is volume and the amount of time that it is necessary to spend. It is a complex formula or equation that needs to be developed to recognise the uneven distribution of unemployment and the type and scale of that unemployment. It is a matter of how we engage with the individual. There are some who may need more time. There may be many in a particular area who need more time because they are so far removed from the labour market, yet there will be other areas where not as much effort is needed to engage with the unemployed. All I am asking is whether the second office gets the same resources as the other office.
