Recommendation 6

6

Department failed to investigate financial impacts of increasing guarantee period despite commitment.

Conclusion
It was disappointing to hear that, having said in 2019 that further investigation was needed into the financial impacts of increasing the guarantee period, the Department has not undertaken any further work on the issues. This is an inefficient use of a resource-intensive consultation process. (Conclusion, Paragraph 36)
