As well as examining the issue highlighted by my colleague, there were considerable impacts when people moved from the OPFP to individually having to seek maintenance payments. The Department has figures on this and it is an important financial and social effect, which has had an economic impact. It would be important to capture that. Perhaps it is a corollary effect but it will feed into an understanding of the impact of the measures. We can come back to it when the Minister is developing the terms of reference and offer a submission then.
