What are the stakeholder meetings telling the Minister about the flexibility of the loan scheme? Is he listening to the stakeholders? Is he taking initiatives to change the nature of the scheme? Hand holding is fine to point people in directions but it may well be that systems are required to link suppliers as opposed to individuals trying to get a loan through the loan scheme and trying to navigate it themselves. It may well be that a collaborative approach is required and State intervention might be needed to assist.
