-----and how better off people are as a result of all those jobs that have been created.
I have a specific question for the Minister of State. The Disability Federation of Ireland has also brought to my attention that the probability of exit, PEX, score, used by the Department of Social Protection, measures the probability of exit from the live register. The Disability Federation of Ireland and other organisations representing those with a disability are unhappy that the PEX is a one-size-fits-all structure. They are unhappy that it is not designed to accommodation variables associated with disabling conditions. Has that been brought to the Minister of State's attention and is the Department looking at that?
