Mr. Paul Reid:

I fully acknowledge the issue around assessment of need and the big challenge we have. A recent court case set out very clearly that our process was not complying with the legislation. Some 10,000 assessments need to be reassessed based on that. We have very significant issues to deal with. We are working very closely with the Minister and have been doing so for the past few weeks on how we will approach it. This includes an engagement he and I kicked off last week with a range of stakeholders about how we will do this very differently. It involves extra recruitment which is a challenge. We are looking at recruitment profiles and how we can look at the qualifications for people needed to come into the system. However, I fully accept it is a significant challenge. We will have to redesign the whole process around assessment of need.
