Teare happy with those carrying out work tests

Treasury Minister Eddie Teare says Dependability assessors are qualified and experienced staff.

This morning in Tynwald he faced questions from South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft over training for the assessors.

Mr Teare said the company's staff are qualified and some are registered mental health nurses while others have significant experience in areas such as drug and alcohol dependency.

He said he was content the workers were able to carry our the fitness-to-work assessments.
