My amendment refers to a vocational rehabilitation assessor, labour market integration expert or other specialist placement officer. Such a person would be aware of people's needs. The Minister referred to workplace programmes to suit an individual. I suggest such a specialist officer would not necessarily require psychiatric training but rather would be an expert in negotiating and dealing on behalf of the person with a disability in order to place them in the best possible position. This is a very worthwhile section of the Bill and I commend the Minister for his interest in the details.
