Mr. John McKeon:
No. It is providing services by telephone and video at present, like our case officers, to the people it has on the books. Equally, and this is one of the advantages with the JobPath model, the payment is predominantly based on whether it gets somebody into work or whether it helps a person get into work. During the period there are a number of people who went to JobPath - I do not have the exact figure with me - who did get employment.
