The report focused on measures to secure additional output within existing funding levels, additional funding options and other programme management issues. It identifies a number of measures for examination by my Department and the NRA, in conjunction with the Department of Finance, to accelerate the delivery of the programme and to ensure value for money in its implementation. Following con sideration of the report by the Cabinet sub-committee on 9 April and 6 May, the NRA has been asked to implement the recommendations relating to securing greater output from existing funding levels and to undertake further work in relation to potential options for additional funding.
