Mr. John McKeon:
On the subcontractors, we encouraged the providers to establish a supply chain of subcontractors. Effectively there will be two types of subcontractor: those to whom they subcontract some of the employment counselling and personal advisor work and those to whom they might subcontract training initiatives. Most of the local employment services and job clubs that we would deal with regularly have already indicated and signed expressions of interest to participate as subcontractors.
