£60m innovation fund opens for disabled employment ideas_enhanced.m4a

You fund all these ideas, what is there to sustain? Because again, unless you fund the bold, you know, the zero bold system where they've got to offer bold ideas coming out of these job innovation funds to ultimately fail.

So when I had to get friends and support them to nominate for innovations, I said, "That was nothing." Because that was the only thing they did.

But you said before about how a very good friend of mine has been-- stories have been hard.

Very, very hard and feeling there's no places to work.

But yes, there's no places to work.

Because I had to get some-- I was gonna have to call in for work.

I was making it less demanding.

Then, you know, having 60 million funds for what? Ideas.

But when it's become obvious it's just random ideas that scope people to a new work-related innovations, then sorry.

I mean, the idea itself, brilliant.

But again, I talk about, you know, some of these things like digital therapies, whatever, the mental health, great, brilliant.

But you know, we have those therapies, you know, Jess and the family have been told that there's a lot of these things.

And so look, what again, I've said before with work with them, what has to be...

If you could suddenly create a fund that gives people, you know, um, a fund, a huge funding mechanism that says therapy for mental health because they're going to work.

It allows me the option.

You know, people a job isn't much of a back up thing, isn't it? Because I was suddenly like, "Should we make these people?" It's in their common interest to get them to work.

So all of a sudden, I think a drop in the queue of people who might require the most expensive mental health because soups that have caught the coronavirus on one hand and then the next I have it as well.

You know, many people have to apply for this therapy because, you know, there's simply isn't a system to, to help all the people.

They do.

It's, it's, it's again smoke and mirrors and they get into and remain in work.

Well, if you've got places to work, what are you bringing in to anchor this, um, this fund? Because once these ideas have been out, what next? Because the main thing is access to work.

So unless you can get access to work with something else, you see them go with these ideas.

Um, you know, again, I don't put them the idea in general.

It sounds great.

Yeah, we get ideas from wherever we can.
