I think we all welcome the work CE scheme participants carry out. It can be everything from drug addiction services right through to many pieces of work in the community. We need to review CE with a view to strengthening it. I welcome what has been said previously. We need to look at the pension age question Deputy Stanton has raised. Beyond that, for us to make this entirely sustainable we need to deal with the issue of CE supervisors' pay and conditions. We all know that is an ongoing issue and we need a whole-of-Government response to deal with that.
