Chairperson, I agree with the last opinion of the hon Minister that we should all do it, but government departments should set the trend. My question to the hon Minister is as follows: During this year, has her department established what the problems are that are causing this not to happen? Is the post not available? Do they not advertise it? Are the people not applying? Have you established what the real problem is and come up with some solutions?
The MINISTER OF WOMEN, YOUTH, CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: Hon Chairperson, I am not sure whether the question is about the department or about the fact that we are here discussing the importance of ensuring that people with disabilities access the labour market. I thought that was the issue we were addressing.
However, I wish to say to the hon member that the department, new as it is, is on course in terms of its programmes, priorities, and strategic plan. And, hopefully, we will be having a full complement of staff members by the end of this year. The process is unfolding and ongoing, and, in due course, people will know the outcome of those processes. I thank you. [Applause.]
